<p>We are implementing our compartmentalisation strategy (isolating the symptomatic;
quarantining new arrivals; and shielding the vulnerable) in the prison estate. The
latest PHE modelling indicates this strategy has shown early signs of success. We
are increasing headroom in the prison estate to better enable prisons to implement
compartmentalisation and reduce the number of prisoners sharing cells. This has been
actioned through a combination of the early release of low-risk offenders, provision
of temporary accommodation and expediting remand hearings to reduce the unsentenced
population.</p><p> </p><p>We are installing over 1,000 temporary cells to increase
space and help reduce the spread of the virus. These units are being placed where
there are the highest number of shared cells, a lack of in-cell sanitation and where
there are high numbers of vulnerable prisoners. We have also opened an Annex at HMP/YOI
Rochester to hold up to 70 men.</p><p> </p><p>Upon arrival into custody, all prisoners’
suitability to share a cell is risk assessed. These assessments are based on numerous
factors including health concerns.</p><p> </p><p>The table below identifies the number
of prisoners, broken down by establishment, sharing cells holding two or more people
as at 27 March, 24 April and 29 May 2020. The detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies
inherent in any large-scale recording system</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="3"><p>Total
