<p>We expanded the prison estate by introducing temporary accommodation cells to increase
space and help reduce the spread of coronavirus. A total of 112 temporary accommodation
cells have been installed in the women’s estate at HMP & YOI Drake Hall, HMP &
YOI East Sutton Park, HMP Foston Hall and HMP & YOI Askham Grange. This accommodation
is part of the quick and decisive action we have taken to limit the spread of the
virus across all prison establishments including restricting regimes, minimising inter-prison
transfers and compartmentalising our prisons into different units to isolate the sick,
shield the vulnerable and quarantine new arrivals.</p>
