The Government is currently delivering 10,000 new prison places by the end of 2025 and have a long-term commitment to build 20,00 places overall, which is the largest prison building programme in Britain since the Victorian era. We have already delivered c.5,900 of these, including through our two brand new modern and secure prisons. A third prison will open next year, and two more have planning permission; as a result, the total number of prison places is significantly higher than in 2010 and will rise further.<\/p>
Meanwhile, with a new prisoner transfer agreement with Albania and expansion of the Early Removal Scheme, strong and decisive action is being taken to drive down the number of Foreign National Offenders in our prisons.<\/p>"}

The safety of all those in our custodial estate, including young female offenders is a key priority.<\/p>
Girls currently make up less than 1% of children and young people within the youth estate which has a range of mixed gender settings. In HMYOI Wetherby, girls live separately from boys but attend education and activities together, as occurs in the community.<\/p>
Girls in the youth estate can communicate trauma-related stress through internalising behaviours such as self-harming. Professionals work hard to deliver effective care.<\/p>
The YCS is further developing gender-responsive guidance and training both at HMYOI Wetherby and for the wider youth estate.<\/p>"}

This Government has introduced a comprehensive legislative framework to prevent violence against women, including our landmark Domestic Abuse Act 2021.<\/p>
We have pioneered the creation of new offences including coercive control, non-fatal strangulation and intimate image abuse; more than doubled\u202fthe number of adult rape cases reaching court compared to when we commissioned our End-to-End Rape Review; and made sure that sentences for adult rape are almost 40% longer than they were in 2010.<\/p>
And through our Sentencing Bill,\u202fwe will ensure that rapists and serious sexual offenders spend the entirety of their custodial sentence behind bars, without possibility of parole.<\/p>"}
