<p>Her Majesty’s Prisons and Probation Service (HMPPS), does not calculate separately
the annual cost of prisoners who are held in remand awaiting trial or by type of offence.
Additionally, the information recorded on the HMPPS central accounting system does
not allow the identification of costs attributable to holding individual offenders.</p><p>
</p><p>However, HMPPS, routinely publishes average costs per prisoner, costs per prison
place and overall prison unit costs for each private and public sector prison in England
and Wales. This information is produced on an annual basis and is published after
the end of each financial year. The information can be accessed in the Prison and
Probation Performance Statistics pages for each relevant financial year here - <a
href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/prison-and-probation-trusts-performance-statistics"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/prison-and-probation-trusts-performance-statistics</a>.
Prison unit costs can be found within the Excel document <em>Costs per prison place
and cost per prisoner by individual prison establishment</em> in the ‘Cost by Establishment’
tab.</p><p> </p><p>The most recent published figures for financial year 2016-17 can
be accessed on the <a href="http://www.gov.uk/" target="_blank">www.gov.uk</a> website
from the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/prison-performance-statistics-2016-to-2017"
