answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2016 answer text <p>Our Prison Safety and Reform White Paper, published this month, affirms the government’s commitment to fundamentally reassess our wider approach to tackling the supply and demand for drugs in prisons. We want prisoners who arrive dependent on drugs to get the treatment they need so when they leave they don’t need to commit crimes to feed their addiction.</p><p> </p><p>Drug Recovery Wings are one approach to tackling substance misuse in prison. Drug recovery wings were formally piloted in 11 prisons, a Department of Health funded independent evaluation is currently under peer review and will feed into our work on prison reform. Some establishments, in partnership with Drug Treatment Providers, have also established their own local recovery wing models outside of the original pilot areas. It is for health commissioners, alongside prison governors, to decide if they wish to commission drug recovery wings when considering how best to meet the needs of their population.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 14/11/2016 17:28:07 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2016 answer text <p>Well-run prisons are fundamental to the proper functioning of our justice system, and a vital part of our reform plans. Private providers are required to maintain a sufficient number of staff, with the requisite level of skill and experience engaged in the provision of the Custodial Service, to ensure that the Prison is a safe, secure and decent environment. Privately Managed Prisons continue to play an important role in the prison estate and performance of all providers is closely monitored.</p><p> </p><p>In May 2010, there were 2,329 full time equivalent prison custody officers employed by privately managed prisons in England and Wales. There are currently 3,170 full time equivalent prison custody officers employed by privately managed prisons in England and Wales.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 14/11/2016 17:27:40 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah
