<p>Well-run prisons are fundamental to the proper functioning of our justice system,
and a vital part of our reform plans. Private providers play an important role in
the prison estate. Performance of all providers is closely monitored and we will not
hesitate to take action where standards fall short.</p><p>Prison Contracts set out
a strict performance framework, consisting of prescriptive performance targets. Failure
by the provider to meet performance targets results in performance points being applied.</p><p>Performance
points are awarded according to the severity of failure. If the total number of points
exceeds the agreed baseline for the performance quarter or year, financial remedies
are applied against the Contractor in accordance with the Contract. In certain circumstances
financial remedies can also be applied directly, without performance points being
accrued. The amount of points awarded therefore cannot always be linked to the value
of remedies imposed.</p><p>The number of performance points incurred at HMP Birmingham
and HMP Oakwood for the reporting years 2012-2013 through to 2015-2016 are as follows.</p><p>Data
for reporting year 2016-2017 is not yet available as it has not been finalised.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>
