	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2020 answer text <p>Discipline procedures are central to the maintenance of a safe, decent and rehabilitative custodial environment. They require adjudications to be conducted lawfully, fairly and justly. All prisoners have a full opportunity to hear what is alleged against them and to present their case. Children and young people in custody are some of the most vulnerable people in society and their safety and welfare is our highest priority. But there are occasions when their behaviour is so challenging and violent that it is necessary to instigate disciplinary procedures. Young or vulnerable prisoners, who may lack experience of adjudications, are encouraged to request help from an advocate.</p><p> </p><p>Only Independent Adjudicators, who are District Judges or Deputy District Judges, can, in cases deemed to be sufficiently serious, make an award of additional days. The adjudicators will follow the punishment guidelines issued by the Chief Magistrate. These are rightly, independent of the Ministry of Justice and a matter for the Chief Magistrate.</p><p> </p><p>The information requested can be found in the tables attached.</p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 15/01/2020 16:22:56 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton attachment 1 file name Copy of PQ 1364 table for publication.xlsx title Table
