As the Justice Secretary has said, the safety and welfare of all those in custody is vital.<\/p>

Although youth crime is down, reoffending rates are far too high and the care and supervision of young people in custody is not good enough. Restraint should only be used as a last resort, when young people are putting their own safety and the safety of others at risk.<\/p>

In 2012, we introduced the Minimising and Managing Physical Restraint (MMPR). Her Majesty\u2019s Inspectorate of Prisons has welcomed the significant improvements that MMPR has brought.<\/p>

The number of minor and serious injuries requiring medical treatment resulting from RPIs is published in Chapter 8 of the Youth Justice Annual Statistics:<\/p>

https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/youth-justice-annual-statistics-2014-to-2015<\/a><\/p>

We are investigating the accuracy of all restraint injury data from Medway Secure Training Centre.<\/p>

The number of young people that establishments recorded as injured during incidents that required Restrictive Physical Intervention in each institution in the youth secure estate in each of the last eight years is set out in the attached document. This includes the following categories of injury: (i) serious injury requiring hospital treatment (ii) minor injuries requiring medical treatment and (iii) minor injuries, no treatment required.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1453", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrew Selous"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South West Bedfordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Andrew Selous"} , "attachment" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/454262/answer/attachment/1", "fileName" : {"_value" : "Number of injuries sustained by children during restraint.xls"} , "title" : "injuries sustained by children during restraint"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2016-04-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/454262/answer/previousversion/54110", "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1453", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrew Selous"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South West Bedfordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Andrew Selous"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2016-04-06T14:44:19.67Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ], "questionFirstMinisteriallyCorrected" : [{"_value" : "2016-04-08T09:51:59.993Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2016-02-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Youth Custody: Restraint Techniques"} , "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, how many injuries were sustained by children during restraint in each custodial institution in each of the last eight years.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1516", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andy Slaughter"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hammersmith"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Andy Slaughter"} ], "uin" : "28142"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/453357", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/453357/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

We are closing ageing and ineffective prisons and investing in a modern, efficient prison estate which rehabilitates criminals.<\/p>

We are exploring how we can provide Governors and front line staff with greater freedom so they can innovate and find new and better ways of rehabilitating offenders. This will include looking for opportunities to reduce unnecessary bureaucracy.<\/p>

Every death in custody is a tragedy, and we are committed to reducing the number of self-inflicted deaths and self-harm incidents in prisons. Since 2010 the number of self-harm incidents and self-inflicted deaths by prisoners on remand has fallen significantly. All prisons are required to have procedures in place to identify, manage and support people who are at risk of harm to themselves, and the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) has put in place additional resources to undertake this safer custody work. NOMS has also reviewed case management process for prisoners assessed as being at risk and will be acting on the recommendations in due course.<\/p>

The national statistics on safety in custody use the following categories: self-harm incidents are defined as \u201cany act where a prisoner deliberately harms themselves irrespective of the method, intent or severity of any injury\u201d; and self-inflicted deaths are defined as \u201cany death of a person who has apparently taken his or her own life, irrespective of intent.\u201d They do not include a separate category of \u201cattempted self-inflicted death\u201d, because the intent of the prisoner is often unknown. Some incidents are more likely to result in a fatality than others, but the point at which a self-harm incident becomes an attempted self-inflicted death is unclear. For this reason, the tables below include the answers to parts (a) and (c) of the question only. It is not possible to provide the proportion of prisoners that self-harm incidents relate to, as more than one incident may be attributed to the same individual. Instead, a rate per 1,000 prisoners has been provided.<\/p>

All prisons in England and Wales have a library. NOMS has been responsible for funding prison library services in England from April 2011.<\/p>

The total NOMS allocated budget for prison libraries in 2015/16 in England was £7,592,414<\/p>

The attached table shows both the provider and allocated library budget for each prison in England since 2010. NOMS is not responsible for funding library services in prisons in Wales as this is a devolved function of the Welsh Government so data is not included. Privately managed prison contracts put in place since 2011 have identified levels of funding for libraries and so are included in the table.

All prisons in England and Wales have a library. NOMS has been responsible for funding prison library services in England from April 2011.<\/p>

The total NOMS allocated budget for prison libraries in 2015/16 in England was £7,592,414<\/p>

The attached table shows both the provider and allocated library budget for each prison in England since 2010. NOMS is not responsible for funding library services in prisons in Wales as this is a devolved function of the Welsh Government so data is not included. Privately managed prison contracts put in place since 2011 have identified levels of funding for libraries and so are included in the table. The table does not include library provision at privately managed prisons whose contracts were awarded before 2011 as this was part of the overall included contract price and so it is not possible to extract a specific cost element to this part of the contract. This equates to 10 prisons.<\/p>

I attach a list of each of the prisons from which prisoners have been released on temporary licence (ROTL) in the last 5 years.<\/p>

Eligibility for ROTL primarily depends upon the assessment of the prisoner in question rather than the classification of the establishment in which they are currently detained. So, whilst a Category A prisoner cannot have ROTL and Category B prisoners can take it only in exceptional circumstances, lower category prisoners who are eligible to be considered for ROTL are held in category B and in some category A prisons. The key test is whether the prisoner in question is eligible to be considered, has a legitimate purpose for temporary releases linked to the sentence plan, and passes the rigorous risk assessment required.<\/p>

Since 2013 when the process was revised there has been a 39% drop in the number of temporary release failures. This is the lowest failure rate since 2002, and the absconding rate has reached record lows under this and the Coalition government.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1453", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrew Selous"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South West Bedfordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Andrew Selous"} , "attachment" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/417756/answer/attachment/1", "fileName" : {"_value" : "9482 - table.xlsx"} , "title" : "temporary licence releases Jan 2011 - March 2015"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-09-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/417756/answer/previousversion/21827", "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1453", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrew Selous"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South West Bedfordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Andrew Selous"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-09-16T15:17:09.193Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ], "questionFirstMinisteriallyCorrected" : [{"_value" : "2016-03-03T14:46:42.417Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-09-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Prisoners' Release"} , "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, from which prisons prisoners have been released on temporary licence in each of the last five years.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1565", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Philip Davies"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Shipley"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Philip Davies"} ], "uin" : "9482"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/389070", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/389070/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Total estimated <\/ins>spend on the Secure College pathfinder was £5.88m. This includes an estimated <\/ins>£1.56m resource spend<\/ins> (mainly expenditure on staff pay and procurement) and an estimated <\/ins>£4.32m capital spend <\/ins>(mainly design fees and site preparation costs). These figures are subject to review by the National Audit Office in January 2016.<\/ins><\/p>

All services were procured through a competitive process and assessed as providing value for money to the department. The design work produced for the pathfinder could be used or adapted for alternative provision, and the prepared site at Glen Parva could be used for a range of developments.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1453", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrew Selous"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South West Bedfordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Andrew Selous"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-07-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/389070/answer/previousversion/15194", "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1453", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrew Selous"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South West Bedfordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Andrew Selous"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-07-15T13:13:22.48Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ], "questionFirstMinisteriallyCorrected" : [{"_value" : "2015-12-07T18:07:21.57Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-07-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Secure Colleges: Expenditure"} , "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 9 July 2015 to Question 5710, what the cost to the public purse has been of his Department's spending on the Secure College programme to date.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1516", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andy Slaughter"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hammersmith"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Andy Slaughter"} ], "uin" : "6553"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "http://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?answeringDeptShortName=Justice&_page=1&min-answer.questionFirstMinisteriallyCorrected.=2015-03-26T15%3A07%3A13.88Z&answer.previousAnswerVersion.answeringMemberConstituency=South+West+Bedfordshire&max-answer.questionFirstAnswered.=2019-05-21T13%3A48%3A00.747Z", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 15, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
