scrutinised by an on-site Prison Service Controller who monitors their performance,
including staffing levels. Some privately run prisons are among the best across the
estate, and we are able to take rapid action if standards do not meet contractual
levels, and in such circumstances remedies are applied.</p><p> </p><p>For publicly
run prisons we have a Performance and Assurance Framework, which ensures that where
a prisons performance falls below a certain level improvement measures can be put
in place.</p>
