<p>The Prime Minister has committed up to £2.5 billion to transform the prison estate
by creating 10,000 additional prison places as part of this government’s commitment
to crack down on crime.</p><p>We plan to build the first of these prisons on land
adjacent to the existing, well-performing, prison at Full Sutton. We have received
outline planning permission to build a 1,440 place prison there, so this site can
be quickly mobilised for the first of the new prisons.</p><p>All future new prison
developments are subject to receiving planning permission and will be announced in
due course. We are exploring a range of options for new sites and we will announce
potential sites in due course.</p>
