which are private prisons.</p><p> </p><p>Every public sector prison has an agreed
safe, decent and secure operating level (SDSOL) which reflects the category of prison
and the types of prisoners held. The SDSOL is central to the delivery of the regime
in every prison. Since April 2017 Governors have been empowered to manage workforce
planning locally and use this flexibility to set their own staffing arrangements.</p><p>
</p><p>We are recruiting more prison officers across England and Wales as part of
the Offender Management in Custody model (OMiC) and to support Youth Justice Reform.
The majority of newly recruited Prison Officers are already on the landings, joining
our officers who play a vital role in making sure prisons are safe, secure and decent.</p>
