It is already an offence to have or use a mobile phone in prison without authorisation. We therefore have no plans to create a new offence of knowingly communicating with someone in the criminal justice system using devices such as mobile phones.<\/p>

<\/p>

We are taking urgent and decisive action to tackle the threat of illegal phones including detection dogs, body scanners and intelligence-led searches. We also continue to utilise Telecommunications Restriction Orders to block specific mobile phones being used in prisons.<\/p>

<\/p>

To reduce demand for illicit mobile phones, we are also expanding the roll out of in-cell telephones. These operate under strict controls with the aim of improving rehabilitation, cutting crime and protecting the public.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4362", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Edward Argar"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Charnwood"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Edward Argar"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-10-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-10-26T13:38:37.943Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-10-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Prisons: Mobile Phones"} , "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, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of bringing forward legislative proposals to make it a criminal offence to knowingly communicate with a person detained in the criminal justice system using an electronic communications system.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4006", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dr Matthew Offord"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hendon"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Dr Matthew Offord"} ], "uin" : "180704"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/989564", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/989564/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

HMP Berwyn in Wrexham, North Wales opened on 27 February 2017, and when fully operational, will create 2,106 modern and efficient prison places holding category C men. The latest data for Berwyn (published September 2018) shows a population of just over 1170 and is currently ramping up its population as part of its safe mobilisation.<\/p>

<\/p>

When the prison is at full capacity it will be the largest prison in the UK therefore the ramp up of population needs to affiliate with the continual recruitment, training and attrition of staff and the number of purposeful activity spaces available. This is paramount to provide an environment safe for those who work and reside within the prison whilst delivering a rehabilitative purpose.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4362", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Edward Argar"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Charnwood"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Edward Argar"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-10-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-10-26T13:27:58.393Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-10-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Berwyn Prison"} , "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 17 September 2018 to Question 171712, if he will publish his Department's plan for bringing HMP Berwyn up to full capacity.", "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" : "180831"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/989566", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/989566/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

    HM Prison and Probation workforce statistics detailing staffing by establishment are published quarterly. The latest publication can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/her-majestys-prison-and-probation-service-workforce-quarterly-march-2018<\/p>

    <\/p>

    Prison officer numbers are at their highest in five years, which is vital to ensuring prisons are safe, secure and decent. We now have over 3,500 additional staff in post compared to October 2016. The recruitment drive will continue until we reach required levels across the prison estate, ensuring prisons can fulfil their purpose - protecting the public, reducing reoffending and crucially, rehabilitating offenders. Increased staff numbers will enable us to implement the key worker role, giving staff dedicated time to provide one-to-one support to individual prisoners and, for example, identify where mental health support may be needed.<\/p>

    <\/p>

    Staffing for prison healthcare services at HMP Risley is a matter for healthcare providers under contract to NHS England.

    Reducing reoffending by children in the youth justice system is a key aim of the system. Although fewer young people are committing crimes for the first time, those who do are some of the most troubled in our society.<\/p>

    <\/p>

    We are continuing to work with the Home Office to deliver the Serious Violence Strategy, pursuing those responsible for crime, protecting victims and communities, and preventing vulnerable people from being exploited. This includes tackling the increase in serious violence and drug-related crime, with an emphasis on responding to county lines activity. This year the government has awarded £22 million for the Early Intervention Youth Fund to support local areas to tackle these problems. Learning from this fund will inform the upcoming £200 million Youth Endowment Fund, and will help deliver a public health approach to addressing serious violence.<\/p>

    <\/p>

    We also fund Youth Offending Teams (YOTs) to support young people at a local level, in partnership with other services (for example, police, health, education and social care). We have had significant success in reducing the under 18 custodial population in recent years.<\/p>

    <\/p>

    To improve safety and the life chances of children in custody we established the Youth Justice Reform Programme in 2017. We have expanded frontline capacity in Young Offender Institutions by 20%, equating to over 120 new posts and we are introducing a new Youth Justice Specialist officer role in youth custody tied to a professional qualification in youth justice.<\/p>

    <\/p>

    We have developed a new approach to behaviour management in custody and are working with the NHS on a new approach to strengthen the provision of mental health care for young people. We are investing in the development of Enhanced Support Units for children with the most complex needs, one of which has already been opened at Feltham YOI, and are also developing plans for secure schools, with the aim of improving outcomes for young people in custody.<\/p>

    <\/p>

    Since the creation of our Youth Justice Reform Programme in 2017, Her Majesty\u2019s Inspectorate of Prisons reports have highlighted improvements in all the under-18 sites they have inspected. It\u2019s promising to see our reforms are starting to have an impact on the ground, but we absolutely must continue to invest in system-wide reform to further improve safety and rehabilitative outcomes for children.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4362", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Edward Argar"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Charnwood"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Edward Argar"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-10-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-10-22T15:29:09.323Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-10-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Youth Justice"} , "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, whether his Department has plans to improve the efficiency of the youth justice system; and what steps he is taking to reduce rates of youth re-offending.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4510", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Helen Hayes"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Dulwich and West Norwood"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Helen Hayes"} ], "uin" : "180824"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/989624", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/989624/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
