It included funding to reduce smuggling of illicit items, including drugs, and our measures are producing results.</p><p> </p><p>This investment delivered 75 additional X-ray body scanners, resulting in full coverage across the closed adult male estate. As of October 2023, we had recorded over 46,900 positive indications, helping tackle the supply of drugs into prisons.</p><p> </p><p>Furthermore, in January of this year we introduced new 400 metre Restricted Fly Zones around all closed prisons and young offender institutions in England and Wales. This makes it easier for prison staff and the police to identify illicit drones and take action to disrupt them, intercept any contraband and pursue prosecution.</p><p> </p><p>Since 2016, HMPPS has helped the police secure more than 75 convictions from criminal drone activity around prisons. Those convicted have been sentenced to a combined total of over 265 years behind bars.</p><p>HMPPS is working hard to conduct assessments all across the prison estate to implement a range of physical upgrades and countermeasures to prevent drones from reaching their target destinations.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 17/05/2024 10:27:27 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar

For privately run prisons, HMPPS works closely with the Prison operator to ensure that the expected standards are met, through the local controller team and contractual escalation route, if required. HMPPS officials meet with HMIP regularly to discuss the general landscape across the prison estate and will continue to do so. HMP and YOI Parc assess all prisoners who transfer into the prison including reviewing all previous information held on the prisoners to inform intelligence.</p><p> </p><p>HMPPS continues to work extensively with G4S and is closely overseeing the prison to improve safety and reduce harm. All establishments are required to have a safety strategy in place, which includes actions to address violence. HMPPS remains committed to providing a safe, decent and secure environment for all committed to our care.</p><p> </p><p>As HMP and YOI Parc is a privately operated prison, HMPPS do not hold data relating to the G4S workforce, and recruitment of healthcare staff is the responsibility of the Local Health Board, therefore, HMPPS are not the data holder for healthcare staffing information.</p><p> </p><p>The information requested on finds in prisons is published at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/hmpps-annual-digest-april-2022-to-march-2023" target="_blank">HMPPS annual digest: HMPPS Annual Digest, April 2022 to March 2023 - GOV.UK</a>, specifically in tables 8.2b, 8.3 and 8.4 of this link: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/64c143b41e10bf000e17cf9e/8.__Finds.ods" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/64c143b41e10bf000e17cf9e/8.__Finds.ods</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Data on assaults are found in tables 8a-8f: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/662a24fb690acb1c0ba7e57c/Safety-in-custody-summary-q4-2023_final_table.xlsx" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/662a24fb690acb1c0ba7e57c/Safety-in-custody-summary-q4-2023_final_table.xlsx</a>.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar grouped question UIN 25373 25375 25376 25377 25378 25379 25381 25382 question first answered 17/05/2024 12:44:09 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
