However, HMPPS routinely publishes average costs per prisoner, costs per prison place and overall prison unit costs for each private and public sector prison in England and Wales, including all categories of the women’s estate. This information is produced on an annual basis and is published after the end of each financial year.</p><p> </p><p>The most recent published figures, for financial year 2016-17, can be accessed on the www.gov.uk website from the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/prison-performance-statistics-2016-to-2017" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/prison-performance-statistics-2016-to-2017</a>. Prison unit costs can be found within the Excel document <em>Costs per prison place and cost per prisoner by individual prison establishment</em> in the ‘Cost by Establishment’ tab.</p><p> </p><p>The courts have a range of sentences at their disposal including community sentences, suspended sentences, fines and custodial sentences. Custodial sentences are reserved for the most serious offences. Women diverted from custody and into community sentences, also have an associated cost to the taxpayer.</p> answering member constituency Bracknell answering member printed Dr Phillip Lee question first answered 02/05/2018 16:06:09 question first ministerially corrected 20/06/2018 12:47:35 answering member 3921 label Biography information for Dr Phillip Lee previous answer version 55640 answering member constituency Bracknell answering member printed Dr Phillip Lee answering member 3921 label Biography information for Dr Phillip Lee
