answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/06/2018 answer text <p>As the Secretary of State said in his speech at the Royal Society of Arts we want to reset and reinvigorate the system of incentives in our prisons so they work much more in the favour of those prisoners who play by the rules and who want to turn their lives around, whilst coming down harder on those who show no intention of doing so.</p><p> </p><p>The new Incentives and Earned Privilege (IEP) Policy Framework will exclude the use of IEP as a determining factor for access to family days for any prisoner, regardless of their gender. We expect to consult stakeholders on a draft IEP Policy Framework shortly, and to conclude the review of IEP after this consultation.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 07/06/2018 13:23:42 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

uin	147817
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/06/2018 answer text <p>Smoke Hoods are designed explicitly for the purpose of protecting prison officers from the harmful effects of fire and smoke gasses when tackling cell fire incidents. The set is limited to short-duration cell fire response operations and is not designed and should not therefore be used for any other purpose, such as to protect from psychoactive substances. All prison officers are trained in its use including annual refresher training.</p><p> </p><p>Prison officers are trained to visually inspect cells via the cell door’s observation window to assess the condition of the cell and the behaviour and position of its occupant(s) prior to entry. Procedures are in place to defer entry and to take other measures if there is evidence of the potential for noxious fumes or smoke to be present other than where there is an apparent immediate risk to life. Respiratory protective equipmentis not mandated for all entry into cells as the vast majority of entries into cells present no significant respiratory risk.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 07/06/2018 13:24:30 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
