answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/06/2019 answer text <p>The figures used to answer question 196156 were taken from data collected on the pre-imprisonment status employment status of individuals within 72 hours of them entering custody using the Basic Custody Screening Tool (BCS) and covered the period 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2018. The corresponding breakdown by gender can be found in the table below.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>BCS Q B4.12: Were you working before you came to custody?</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Gender</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Count of Assessments</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Percentage</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Employed</p></td><td><p>Female</p></td><td><p>1010</p></td><td><p>0.99%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Employed</p></td><td><p>Male</p></td><td><p>21151</p></td><td><p>20.78%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Employed</p></td><td><p>Not disclosed</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>0.00%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Unemployed</p></td><td><p>Female</p></td><td><p>6513</p></td><td><p>6.40%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Unemployed</p></td><td><p>Male</p></td><td><p>55024</p></td><td><p>54.05%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Unemployed</p></td><td><p>Not disclosed</p></td><td><p>6</p></td><td><p>0.01%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Unavailable for work</p></td><td><p>Female</p></td><td><p>2265</p></td><td><p>2.22%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Unavailable for work</p></td><td><p>Male</p></td><td><p>8519</p></td><td><p>8.37%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Retired</p></td><td><p>Female</p></td><td><p>69</p></td><td><p>0.07%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Retired</p></td><td><p>Male</p></td><td><p>1097</p></td><td><p>1.08%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Retired</p></td><td><p>Not disclosed</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>0.00%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Self-employed</p></td><td><p>Female</p></td><td><p>106</p></td><td><p>0.10%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Self-employed</p></td><td><p>Male</p></td><td><p>6045</p></td><td><p>5.94%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Self-employed</p></td><td><p>Not disclosed</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>0.00%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>Count:</p></td><td><p>101808</p></td><td><p>100.00%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>Note: Slight discrepancies in the figures from those published in response to question 196156 are likely to be due to the deletion of offender records and/or BCS responses from the OASys application since those figures were published.</p><p>As was stated in the earlier answer, these figures are compiled from information the prisoners have provided the assessor to enter into the BCS and include not only prisoners sentenced in respect of a criminal offence, but also those received into custody on remand. Given the information is provided by the prisoners themselves and is not assessed, there will always be a margin of error in the figures. A proportion of prisoners will enter custody multiple times each year and may provide different answers to these questions over time.</p><p> </p><p>Prisons must be places of rehabilitation, which will ultimately reduce reoffending. Our Education and Employment strategy sets out how we will transform our approach to ensure prisoners develop the skills they need to secure employment on release. We have overhauled the prison education system and we implemented our new prison education contracts. Governors control their budget, including the power to choose providers and deliver learning that will best support their prisoners. We are engaging with employers to take on ex-prisoners via the New Futures Network (NFN) and have consulted on proposals to increase the opportunities available to prisoners to gain experience in real workplaces through ROTL.</p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland question first answered 24/06/2019 15:55:10 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland

uin	260626
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/06/2019 answer text <p>The sale of the former HMP &amp; YOI Holloway to Peabody Estates was announced on 8 March 2019. The proceeds from the sale have been reinvested into the general custodial estate budget for the 2019/20 financial year, which will benefit both the male and female custodial estates.</p><p>The purchasers intend to include a Women’s Centre as part of their development of the Holloway site. Sustainable community provision for women is essential to delivering the vision of the female offender strategy, which was published in June 2018. Women’s centres can play an important role in helping female offenders to address their often-complex needs, and they are often at the heart of the holistic, multi-agency, whole system approach models. The Government has already invested £1 million in these models between 2016 and 2020. In addition to this, we are investing a further £5m grant funding through our female offender strategy in 2018-20, to support community provision for female offenders and women at risk of offending.</p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland question first answered 13/06/2019 11:58:14 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland
