question text	Her Majesty's Government how many prisoners are currently sharing a cell with one or more others, broken down by prison.
tabling member printed	The Lord Bishop of Gloucester
uin	HL4968
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/06/2020 answer text <p>On arrival into custody, all prisoners’ suitability to share a cell is risk assessed. These assessments are based on numerous factors including index offence, health concerns and security information (such as beliefs and prejudices).</p><p> </p><p>Since March, we have introduced strong measures to avoid thousands of prisoners and staff becoming infected with COVID-19. This includes restrictions on movement between jails, the early release of low-risk offenders and the temporary expansion of the prison estate. These measures have helped to contain the spread of the virus and limit deaths. This action has helped to reduce the prison population, allowing establishments to implement ‘compartmentalisation’.</p><p> </p><p>We are installing over 1,000 temporary cells to increase space and help reduce the spread of the virus. These units are being placed where there are the highest number of shared cells, a lack of in-cell sanitation and where there are high numbers of vulnerable prisoners. We have also opened an Annex at HMP/YOI Rochester to hold up to 70 men.</p><p> </p><p>As at 29 May 2020, 35% of the prison population are sharing cells holding two or more people and this is broken down by establishment in the table below.
