<p>Detached Duty (DD) is one of the sensible and proportionate measures we take to
ensure we run safe and decent regimes in prisons and respond appropriately to any
operational issues that arise. The deployment of staff between prisons on DD is a
regular and normal part of prison resourcing; the number of Prison Officers deployed
on DD varies from one week to the next in order to reflect operational circumstances.</p><p>
</p><p>Detached Duty is allocated on a cycle (4 week average) rather than on a month
by month (or day by day) basis. The prisons in the 10 Prisons Project are: Hull, Humber,
Isis, Leeds, Lindholme, Moorland, Nottingham, Ranby, Wealtsun, Wormwood Scrubs. Of
these, only Isis (total of 26 weeks) and Nottingham (total of 5 weeks) received Detached
Duty support in the last six months of 2017.</p><p> </p><p>Annex <strong>A</strong>

last six months of 2017.</p><p> </p><p>There was no Detached Duty deployment at any
prison in the 10 Prisons Project in the last six months of 2018.</p>
