<p>Each privately managed prison has a full-time on-site Controller, Deputy Controller
and Assistant Controller, all employed by Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service
(HMPPS). The Controller is accountable to HMPPS for providing assurance that the contract
is delivered in accordance with agreed contractual delivery indicators, and that the
prison provides safe, decent and secure services, in line with HMPPS performance standards.
All the controllers are supported by a central contract management team.</p><p> </p><p>The
attached table shows the length of time each current controller has been in their
role at that particular prison, and the length of time that they have been a controller.
It was not possible to provide the information to question (ii) within the cost limit.
I can confirm that each site there is a Controller (Pay Band 9), Deputy Controller
(Pay Band 7) and an Assistant Controller (Pay Band 4).</p><p> </p><p>Private providers
continue to play an important role in the prison estate and I can assure you that
performance of all providers is closely monitored and we will not hesitate to take
action where standards fall short.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Prison</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Altcourse</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Ashfield</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Birmingham</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Bronzefield</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Doncaster</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Dovegate</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Forest
