<p>Information on the percentage of prisoners in doubled accommodation (two prisoners
held in a cell designed for one) is published as Official Statistics in the Supplementary
Tables to the annual Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service Digest on https://www.gov.uk/.
This is published alongside information on the overall level of crowding, most of
which is made up of doubling, but also includes other forms of crowding, i.e. trebling
(typically three held in a cell designed for two) and crowding in dormitories, which
are rare. This has been shown below.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>1998/9</p></td><td><p>1999/00</p></td><td><p>2000/01</p></td><td><p>2001/02</p></td><td><p>2002/03</p></td><td><p>2003/04</p></td><td><p>2004/05</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Doubling</p></td><td><p>18.6</p></td><td><p>19.0</p></td><td><p>17.5</p></td><td><p>18.0</p></td><td><p>20.8</p></td><td><p>22.1</p></td><td><p>22.5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Trebling

</p><p>We will always have enough prison places for those sent to us by the courts.
Our reforms will close ageing and ineffective prisons and replace them with buildings
fit for today’s demands. Our prison estate will have modern prison places that create
the physical conditions for Governors to achieve better educational, training and
rehabilitation outcomes.</p>
