<p>We want our prisons to be places of safety and reform, and so it is right that
offenders who break prison rules are properly punished. Where this amounts to a criminal
offence, prisoners should expect to be investigated by the police and face more serious
sanctions.</p><p>We are committed to improving safety across the prison estate and
are already taking action. This includes tackling the use of drugs, mobile phones
and drones, while recruiting new staff and improving protection for staff.</p><p>Information
on the number of additional days awarded to prisoners as a result of adjudications
for assaults against staff and prisoners in each of the last five years can be found
in the attached table.</p>
