answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2018 answer text <p>The safety and welfare of young people held in custody is one of our highest priorities and is fundamental to the proper functioning of our justice system. We are committed to reforming youth custody so that it is safer for both young people and staff, as well as being better equipped to help young people turn their lives around.</p><p> </p><p>There are some occasions when young people in custody are putting themselves or others at risk, during which segregation can be used as a last resort for limited periods of time when no other form of intervention is suitable. Any decision to remove a young person from association is subject to regular review and a range of safeguarding measures are in place to ensure appropriate oversight of their care. There are careful limits placed on the length of time for which young people can be removed from association without review of the decision to remove. <br /> <br /> Please see the number of hours of segregation that young people have been placed on, broken down via each Young Offender Institute (YOI) within each of the past five years. Please note that the data collected below is classified by the number of hours young people in total have been on segregation in each current YOI establishment. We do not have a breakdown via the number of young people that have been in segregation and nor the number of hours spent per segregation.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td colspan="7"><p><strong>No. of Hours young people in 'Segregation' for</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Establishment</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2013</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2014</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2015</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2016</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2017</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2018</strong></p></td><td><p><em>Sub-total</em></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>HMYOI Cookham Wood</p></td><td><p>744</p></td><td><p>2009</p></td><td><p>2392</p></td><td><p>2000</p></td><td><p>2576</p></td><td><p>710</p></td><td><p>10431</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>HMYOI Feltham</p></td><td><p>2232</p></td><td><p>1229</p></td><td><p>1286</p></td><td><p>1139</p></td><td><p>1274</p></td><td><p>279</p></td><td><p>7439</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>HMYIO Parc</p></td><td><p>N/A</p></td><td><p>N/A</p></td><td><p>N/A</p></td><td><p>N/A</p></td><td><p>N/A</p></td><td><p>N/A</p></td><td><p>N/A</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>HMYOI Werrington</p></td><td><p>1003</p></td><td><p>1185</p></td><td><p>1732</p></td><td><p>2045</p></td><td><p>1765</p></td><td><p>283</p></td><td><p>8013</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>HMYOI Wetherby</p></td><td><p>1578</p></td><td><p>1400</p></td><td><p>1592</p></td><td><p>1589</p></td><td><p>1394</p></td><td><p>263</p></td><td><p>7816</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><em>Sub-Total</em></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial">2581</del><ins class="ministerial">5557</ins></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial">2585</del><ins class="ministerial">5823</ins></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial">3324</del><ins class="ministerial">7002</ins></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial">3634</del><ins class="ministerial">6773</ins></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial">3159</del><ins class="ministerial">7009</ins></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial">546</del><ins class="ministerial">1535</ins></p></td><td><p><strong><del class="ministerial">15829</del><ins class="ministerial">33699</ins></strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><strong>Notes</strong></p><ul><li>This is unpublished data that is not in the public domain.</li><li>2018 figures only apply to the months from January to March 2018.</li><li>We have not included data for HMYOI Ashfield, HMYOI Hindley and HMYOI Warren Hill.

However, HMPPS routinely publishes average costs per prisoner, costs per prison place and overall prison unit costs for each private and public sector prison in England and Wales, including all categories of the women’s estate. This information is produced on an annual basis and is published after the end of each financial year.</p><p> </p><p>The most recent published figures, for financial year 2016-17, can be accessed on the www.gov.uk website from the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/prison-performance-statistics-2016-to-2017" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/prison-performance-statistics-2016-to-2017</a>. Prison unit costs can be found within the Excel document <em>Costs per prison place and cost per prisoner by individual prison establishment</em> in the ‘Cost by Establishment’ tab.</p><p> </p><p>The courts have a range of sentences at their disposal including community sentences, suspended sentences, fines and custodial sentences. Custodial sentences are reserved for the most serious offences.
