Prisoners living in the open units of closed prisons (i.e. at HMP Norwich and HMP Stoke Heath) are included in the open conditions figure.</p><p>It should not be inferred that all Category D prisoners in closed conditions are necessarily awaiting a transfer to open conditions in the short to medium term. A proportion may have returned from open conditions as not being assessed as suitable, and are awaiting re-classification. The transfer of prisoners around the prison estate is a matter for both sending and receiving prisons to agree so that prisoners are held in establishments that provide appropriate levels of security, are suitable for their age and legal status, provide facilities to reduce their risk of reoffending and, wherever possible, at the lowest cost to the taxpayer. Prisoners are moved to suitable establishments as part of their sentence plan, following re-categorisation in line with centrally produced guidance, where requested or where there is an operational need to do so.</p><p>We are investing £3.8 billion to deliver 20,000 additional, modern prison places including 2,000 temporary prison places across England and Wales by the mid-2020s. This portfolio of work will deliver 660 additional places through expansion of the Category D estate at a number of sites across the country.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 09/11/2022 15:41:31 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2022 answer text <p>Although travelling distance from home was historically provided on an ad hoc basis for specific time frames, this calculation method was discontinued in 2019 and replaced with straight-line modelling.</p><p>Straight-line modelling is the most consistent calculation method. Attempts to model based on travelling distance are subject to high levels of temporal and geographical variation (e.g. inner city travel time).</p><p>As such, the information requested is deemed less useful than straight-line modelling data. It is therefore not routinely calculated and is not currently held.</p> answering member constituency Clwyd South answering member printed Simon Baynes question first answered 26/07/2022 08:08:45 answering member 4800 label Biography information for Simon Baynes
