	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2018 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. 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. All prisoners have a full opportunity to hear what is alleged against them and to present their case. Young or vulnerable prisoners, who may lack experience of adjudications, are encouraged to request help from an advocate. The most serious offences are referred to the police.</p><p>Information on the number of individual prisoners who were subject to punishments for disciplinary misconduct is not routinely extracted from the adjudications database as the primary purpose is to report on the volume of punishments imposed. However, a new methodology was designed to capture unique offenders only, in order to extract the information on the number of prisoners that have accumulated additional days following proven adjudications. The tables attached provide statistics between 2013 and 2017 for each specific prison.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer grouped question UIN 152817 152818 152819 question first answered 15/06/2018 13:55:34 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer attachment 1 file name PQ 152817 152818 152819 152820 Tables.xlsx title Tables 1-4
