answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/02/2016 answer text <p>Progression to open prisons is never automatic, and prisoners must generally be within two years of release before they can be considered for allocation.

The Board will make such a recommendation after a robust risk assessment, based on reports provided by offender managers, offender supervisors and, where appropriate, by psychologists, with the overriding priority being the safety of the public.</p><p> </p><p>The following table shows the number of male and female prisoners held in dedicated open prisons as at the last Friday in June in each of the last five years.

However the database itself is dynamic, and where updates to the database are made late, subsequent to the taking of the extract, these updates will not be reflected in figures produced by the extract.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/04/2016 answer text <p>All private prison contracts are robustly managed by a full-time, on-site controller.
