These terms are defined separately as:</p><p> </p><ul><li>CNA, or uncrowded capacity, is the Prison Service’s own measure of accommodation. CNA represents the good, decent standard of accommodation that Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service aspires to provide all prisoners; and</li></ul><p> </p><ul><li>the Operational Capacity of a prison is the total number of prisoners that an establishment can hold taking into account control, security and the proper operation of the planned regime. It is determined by Prison Group Directors on the basis of operational judgement and experience.</li></ul><p> </p><p>The total prison population is in excess of CNA however this total is always below the total operational capacity of the estate.</p> more like this

In applying this exemption we have had to balance the public interest in withholding or disclosing the report. The Department for Transport found the balance to be in favour of withholding at this time.</p><p> </p><p>The request raised complex public interest considerations. As allowable under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, the department extended the response time limit by 20 working days in order to assess whether the public interest was in withholding or disclosing the information.
