<p /> <p>The information requested is not collected centrally in this form. To provide
it, we would need to undertake a manual examination of individual records of prisoner
journeys in North Wales. This could not be done without incurring disproportionate
cost.</p><p>Police cells are not normally used to accommodate prisoners remanded or
sentenced by the courts. However, circumstances can exceptionally occur – for example
where there is major traffic disruption owing to bad weather or other causes – in
which it is not possible, at the end of the court proceedings, to complete a journey
to a prison in the time available.</p>
