answer text <p>It is not uncommon for prisoners to serve part of their sentence in an establishment which can hold prisoners of a higher security category than they are. For example a newly-sentenced category C prisoner will initially begin their sentence in a predominant function ‘local’ prison, which serves the courts and is built to a category B standard, before being allocated to a category C ‘training’ prison.</p><p> </p><p>The number of category C prisoners held in category B training prisons has fallen considerably in the last 8 years. As at 7 December 2018 there were 914 prisoners held in category B training prisons who were categorised as suitable to be held in category C conditions.</p><p> </p><p>There are complex and wide-ranging issues involved in allocation and transfer of prisoners. Decisions must reflect both the specific needs and circumstances of the prisoner, as well as the operating regime and range of services at the receiving prison. We consider factors such as length of sentence, security category and offending behaviour requirements. Closeness to home is one of the key factors considered when choosing where to place prisoners, particularly for those on short sentences or nearing release, where they need to (re)build family ties, secure housing and health services and look for work. These prisoners are prioritised for places in suitable prisons which are closer to home.</p><p> </p><p>Through the Government’s Prison Estate Transformation Programme we are getting the basics right by building decent prisons to improve rehabilitation and create safe and secure environments for staff and offenders. As well as constructing new prisons we are reconfiguring the existing estate so that prisoners will be held in the right place at the right time in their journey and their rehabilitation can be managed more effectively. By matching people in prison to the function that a prison fulfils, prisons will be able to deliver the right outcomes, and people in prison will be better supported to turn their lives around.</p>

answer text <p>As set out in the 2016 Prison Safety Reform White Paper and 2017 manifesto, we remain committed to building up to 10,000 modern and decent prison places to replace old, expensive and unsuitable accommodation. We intend to build the first prison at Wellingborough through public capital, with construction work expected to begin late 2018 / early 2019 with completion projected for early 2021.</p><p>The Department awarded to Kier Construction Limited a two-stage contract to design and construct the prison at Wellingborough on 19 February 2018. Negotiations are underway with the constructor on delivery of the cost of the new prison and this is also subject to the usual value for money assessments. The prison has been designed to provide largely single cell accommodation.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Our vision is for prison staff and prisoners to work and live in a safe and secure, uncrowded environment that is modern and fit for the purpose of helping prisoners to reform.</p><p> </p><p>This is why we are getting the basics right through the Government’s Prison Estate Transformation Programme, building decent prisons to improve rehabilitation and create safe and secure environments for staff and offenders.</p><p> </p><p>Our reforms will see us close down and redevelop ageing prisons and deliver up to 10,000 new places in high-quality, modern establishments fit for today’s demands. We will only transform our prisons into places of rehabilitation if we ensure that we address basic issues such as cleanliness, decency and safety. We keep the prison population and capacity under careful review to ensure that there is always sufficient capacity.</p><p> </p><p>The table below identifies 29 prisons, as at 30 June 2018, which were holding prisoners in accommodation certified to hold three people or more. The prisons identified will include those with healthcare units, dormitories, and cells which are certified to hold, on both a crowded and uncrowded basis, three or more prisoners.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Prison</p></td><td><p>Number of locations within the prison holding three or more prisoners</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Altcourse</p></td><td><p>9</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Askham Grange</p></td><td><p>10</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Bedford</p></td><td><p>8</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Belmarsh</p></td><td><p>97</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Birmingham</p></td><td><p>4</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Bristol</p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Bullingdon</p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Doncaster</p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>East Sutton Park</p></td><td><p>15</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Elmley</p></td><td><p>87</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Forest Bank</p></td><td><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Foston Hall</p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Hewell</p></td><td><p>35</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Hollesley Bay</p></td><td><p>4</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Hull</p></td><td><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Huntercombe</p></td><td><p>3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Leeds</p></td><td><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Leicester</p></td><td><p>7</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Liverpool</p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>New Hall</p></td><td><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North Sea Camp</p></td><td><p>7</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Norwich</p></td><td><p>8</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Preston</p></td><td><p>5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Rochester</p></td><td><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Stoke Heath</p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Styal</p></td><td><p>40</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Swansea</p></td><td><p>7</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Usk</p></td><td><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Wormwood Scrubs</p></td><td><p>4</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>368</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table>
