When establishing the 10 Prisons Project, we identified a group that were representative of the range of challenges currently facing the estate, including drugs, violence, and building issues. We focused on a small number of regions - London, Yorkshire and the North Midlands - to facilitate partnership working within the project and to limit any potential displacement whereby controlling drugs in one prison would simply move the problem to a neighbouring prison. We identified prisons in both urban and rural areas, with cohorts of young adult or adult male offenders, that are facing some of the most significant challenges across the estate. While all prisons were considered for the project, we included those that gave the best balance of these criteria.<\/p>

The 10 Prisons Project received an initial £10m of funding to fight drugs, improve security and decency, and bolster leadership capability in the 10 priority prisons. Funding has not been diverted from the wider estate to achieve this, and we do not anticipate that there will be any adverse effects on other prisons.<\/p>
<\/p>
The 10 Prisons Project provides us with an opportunity to test what works and will therefore serve as a template for the wider estate, helping to inform priority areas for future investment and development. Successful interventions will be shared as widely as possible, with these prisons leading the way rather than being the limit of our ambitions.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4137", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Rory Stewart"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Penrith and The Border"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Rory Stewart"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-01-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-01-21T10:43:03.477Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-01-11", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Prisons: Finance"} , "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, what assessment he has made of the effect on the prison estate of the resources allocated to the 10 Prisons Programme.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4521", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Liz Saville Roberts"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Dwyfor Meirionnydd"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Liz Saville Roberts"} ], "uin" : "207612"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1039624", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1039624/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Further to the Secretary of State for Justice\u2019s answer to Question 199452, where he provided a monthly breakdown of the £10m funding allocation for the 10 Prisons Project, from start of September 2018 to end of March 2019, Annex A breaks down the funding allocation by each of the 10 prisons.<\/p>
<\/p>
The funding allocation differs slightly between prisons, due to the Department flexing and reprioritising funding where it is needed most in our prisons, to tackle violence and abusive behaviour, increase our security against drugs, and provide additional investment in leadership.

Budgets are subject to in year movement and organisational restructure. Prison unit costs are published annually, providing the actual cost mechanism for all prisons. These are not comparable across the long term due to changes in accounting treatments and scope of business which do not provide a consistent basis. Additionally, the public sector and private sector costs are not directly comparable because of differences in method of financing and scope of services.<\/p>
<\/p>
Her Majesty\u2019s Prison and Probation Service (formerly known as the National Offender Management Service), 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. This information is produced on an annual basis and is published after the end of each financial year.<\/p>
<\/p>
Information on actual prison expenditure for previous financial years can be accessed in the Prison and Probation Performance Statistics pages for each financial year on the https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/prison-and-probation-trusts-performance-statistics#prison-performance-statistics<\/a>. Prison unit costs can be found within the Excel document Costs per prison place and cost per prisoner by individual prison establishment in the \u2018Cost by Establishment\u2019 tab.<\/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:<\/p>
