This information is publicly available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/offender-management-statistics-quarterly-october-to-december-2017" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/offender-management-statistics-quarterly-october-to-december-2017</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Her Majesty’s Prisons and Probation Service (HMPPS), does not calculate separately the average cost of prisoners by any type of offence. 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

As per the answer to PQ 184996, please note that offenders may appear both within the caseload figures of court orders (including community orders and suspended sentence orders), and post-release supervision.</p><p> </p><p>The National Probation Service and Community Rehabilitation Companies work closely with other agencies to support offenders in the community. When an offender being supervised by Probation dies, the Probation provider must examine the circumstances of the death and identify areas to improve practice. While we work extremely closely with each offender before and after release to help them find the support they need, we do not have sole responsibility for caring for these offenders. We are clear, however, that they should receive the same level of care as other members of the public.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 14/11/2018 17:01:11 question first ministerially corrected 21/11/2018 11:59:57 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart attachment 1 file name PQ 188194 - table.xlsx title PQ188194 - Table previous answer version 84891 answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
