Since the contract was awarded in 1997, there have been two instances of financial remedies on G4S\u2019s contract at Medway STC, both for failure to comply with procedures. The financial penalties were for a total of £ 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> Self-harm incidents by prisoners on remand, England and Wales, 2010 to 2014<\/strong><\/ins><\/p><\/td><\/tr> <\/ins><\/p><\/td> 2010<\/strong><\/ins><\/p><\/td> 2011<\/strong><\/ins><\/p><\/td> 2012<\/strong><\/ins><\/p><\/td> 2013<\/strong><\/ins><\/p><\/td> 2014<\/strong><\/ins><\/p><\/td><\/tr> Number of incidents<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 7,746<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 5,302<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 3,820<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 3,688<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 3,913<\/ins><\/p><\/td><\/tr> Incidents per 1,000 remand prisoners<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 596<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 413<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 327<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 332<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 325<\/ins><\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> <\/ins><\/p> <\/ins><\/p> Self-inflicted deaths by prisoners on remand, England and Wales, 2010 to 2014<\/strong><\/ins><\/p><\/td><\/tr> <\/ins><\/p><\/td> 2010<\/strong><\/ins><\/p><\/td> 2011<\/strong><\/ins><\/p><\/td> 2012<\/strong><\/ins><\/p><\/td> 2013<\/strong><\/ins><\/p><\/td> 2014<\/strong><\/ins><\/p><\/td><\/tr> Number of deaths<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 29<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 20<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 17<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 24<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 18<\/ins><\/p><\/td><\/tr> Deaths per 1,000 remand prisoners<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 2.2<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 1.6<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 1.5<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 2.2<\/ins><\/p><\/td> 1.5<\/ins><\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> <\/ins><\/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>"}
