<p>Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) do not hold the specific information
requested centrally but are currently reviewing how segregation data is collected
across each establishment in the Youth Estate. However, in answering PQ 141024, we
did provide a breakdown of the total number of hours young people spent in segregation
in each Young Offender Institution, where data is available, over the last 5 years.</p><p>
</p><p>The safety and welfare of young people in our care is our priority. That is
why there are strict safeguards on segregation, which is only used as a last resort
when someone is likely to cause harm to themselves or others. We are recruiting more
staff and investing in enhanced support units for the most vulnerable offenders, so
young people have the support they need to turn away from crime and contribute to
society.</p>
