We are unable to publish the Oasis application documents as had been intended as it has not been possible to produce it in an accessible format as required for all documents published on GOV.UK. A copy of the application and related documents in the form it had been intended to be published will be placed in the House library.

The application submitted by Oasis in March 2019 outlined the foundation for their operating concept and proposed principles for the secure school, in line with the criteria set out in the secure schools \u2018how to apply\u2019 guide.

The information requested is shown on the attached spreadsheets. These are broken down by offence group and prison service establishment.<\/p>

The Ministry of Justice publishes a yearly snapshot which estimates the number of former service personnel in the prison population. This takes place in June each year.<\/p>

Since 2015 all new prisoners coming into custody have been asked if they have a military background as part of the basic custody screening (BCS) interview. The attached data is therefore the percentage of sentenced prisoners within each offence group and prison for which we have a matched response to the BCS armed forces question. Those who entered prison prior to Jan 2015 (and are still in custody) will not have completed the BCS and so we will not have a matched response for these individuals.<\/p>

Declaring one\u2019s military background is not obligatory and there is anecdotal evidence that some offenders may be reluctant to disclose having served in the armed forces. The MoJ is focussed on increasing declaration rates amongst this important group.<\/p>

We remain committed to ensuring that those who have served in the Armed Forces and who find themselves in the criminal justice system are able to access support, whether they are serving their sentence in custody or in the community. Through the Armed Forces Covenant Trust Fund, we have committed to support programmes worth £5.7 million targeted at former service personnel in the criminal justice system.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4481", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Alex Chalk"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Cheltenham"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Alex Chalk"} , "attachment" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1310701/answer/attachment/1", "fileName" : {"_value" : "PQ 184574 - 184575_final.xlsx"} , "title" : "Table"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2021-04-28", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "184575"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2021-04-28T12:36:38.983Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2021-04-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Prisoners: Veterans"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 20 April 2021 to Question 180635, how many prisoners serving a custodial sentence who were formerly members of the armed forces were sentenced for (a) violent crime and (b) non-violent crime.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4841", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Imran Ahmad Khan"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Wakefield"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Imran Ahmad Khan"} ], "uin" : "184574"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1310702", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1310702/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The information requested can be found in the tables below.<\/p>

The first table represents the number of outstanding cases for Teesside Crown Court cases.<\/p>

The second table represents the number of outstanding cases at Teesside, Peterlee and Hartlepool Magistrates Courts.<\/p>

Teesside Crown Court cases are reported separately to Teesside Magistrates Court cases as they are different courts.<\/p>

HMCTS refer to all cases as outstanding rather than a backlog. Strictly speaking, the data below provided below is thus based on outstanding cases and not backlog of cases. There will always be a \u2018stock\u2019 of outstanding cases based on the size of each site and mix of cases.<\/p>
