	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2023 answer text <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 Access</p></td><td><p>Controlled unlock</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>LEYHILL (HMP)</p></td><td><p>505</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>THE VERNE (HMP)</p></td><td><p>505</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>SUDBURY (HMP &amp; YOI)</p></td><td><p>394</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>STANDFORD HILL (HMP)</p></td><td><p>384</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>WYMOTT (HMP)</p></td><td><p>384</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>HOLLESLEY BAY (HMP)</p></td><td><p>362</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>THORN CROSS (HMPYOI)</p></td><td><p>342</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>LINDHOLME (HMP)</p></td><td><p>296</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>DRAKE HALL (HMP &amp; YOI)</p></td><td><p>287</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>FORD (HMP)</p></td><td><p>268</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>HATFIELD (HMP &amp; YOI)</p></td><td><p>242</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>SPRING HILL (HMP)</p></td><td><p>201</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>MORTON HALL (HMP)</p></td><td><p>193</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>NORTH SEA CAMP (HMP)</p></td><td><p>154</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>KIRKLEVINGTON GRANGE (HMP)</p></td><td><p>143</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>STYAL (HMP &amp; YOI)</p></td><td><p>136</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>HIGHPOINT (HMP)</p></td><td><p>117</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>ASKHAM GRANGE (HMP &amp; YOI)</p></td><td><p>79</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>WAYLAND (HMP)</p></td><td><p>76</p></td><td><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>CHANNINGS WOOD (HMP)</p></td><td><p>74</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>WINCHESTER (HMP)</p></td><td><p>66</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>EXETER (HMP)</p></td><td><p>56</p></td><td><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>THE MOUNT (HMP)</p></td><td><p>44</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>EAST SUTTON PARK (HMP &amp; YOI)</p></td><td><p>38</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>FEATHERSTONE (HMP)</p></td><td><p>35</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>NORWICH (HMP &amp; YOI)</p></td><td><p>22</p></td><td><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>SEND (HMP)</p></td><td><p>10</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>COLDINGLEY (HMP)</p></td><td><p>5</p></td><td><p>360</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>NORTHUMBERLAND (HMP)</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>ISLE OF WIGHT (HMP)</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>476</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>LONG LARTIN (HMP)</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>307</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>GRENDON (HMP)</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>227</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>BRISTOL (HMP)</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>99</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>FRANKLAND (HMP)</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>4</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>DURHAM (HMP)</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>HEWELL (HMP)</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>HIGH DOWN (HMP)</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>OAKWOOD (HMP)</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>WEALSTUN (HMP)</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>TOTAL </strong></p></td><td><p>5422</p></td><td><p>1485</p></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar grouped question UIN 245 question first answered 14/11/2023 18:04:26 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
