<p /> <p /> <p>Prisoners liable to any type of enforcement proceedings are risk assessed
very carefully to ensure they are suitable for open conditions. On 13 August 2014
we amended the Prison and YOI Rules so that prisoners who have a Deportation Order
served against them and have exhausted their rights of appeal from within the UK can
no longer be moved to open conditions or considered for temporary release.</p><p>Prisoners
who have not yet been served with a Deportation Order, but are being considered by
the Home Office for removal from the UK, are now subject to a more rigorous assessment
before being considered for open conditions or temporary release to ensure that they
are of very low risk of absconding.</p><p>To provide information on the number and
proportion of prisoners who were liable for deportation and had applied for, and were
refused Category D/open conditions status in each of the last five years could only
be provided at disproportionate cost.</p>
