<p>All prisoners in normal accommodation have 24-hour access to sanitation. This is
achieved in a number of ways across the prison estate. The most common method of providing
access to toilet and washing facilities are in-cell. However, in some prisons, it
has proved impossible or impractical to fit in-cell sanitation in some cells. The
table provided below details the number of cells which, as of 20<sup>th</sup> October
2023, provide 24-hour access to sanitation by other means. These broadly fall into
two categories.</p><p>In some parts of the Open and Women’s Estate, open access to
shared facilities is available in certain parts of the prison. This open access is
also available behind locked spurs with unlocked cells in certain Category C Male
prisons. In the table below, these cells are listed as “Communal Access” and can currently
be found in 29 prisons (11 open prisons, 11 training prisons, five women’s prisons
and two reception prisons) across the estate.</p><p>Meanwhile, 21 prisons have some
cells that provide access to facilities via an electronic unlocking system, whereby
prisoners are able to request access via an in-cell call bell. This allows the cell
door to be opened remotely for a limited period of time to allow access to shared
facilities on the wing. In the table below, these cells are listed as “Controlled
Unlock”. For those with small numbers of controlled unlock cells, these are likely
to relate to specialist accommodation (e.g. constant watch cells).</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Prison</p></td><td><p>Communal
