answer text <p>As set out on the 26 June at the Justice Select Committee and in the 2017 manifesto, we remain committed to building up to 10,000 modern and decent prison places to replace old, expensive and unsuitable accommodation.</p><p> </p><p>In the Budget 2018 it was announced that we now intend to build the second prison at Glen Parva through public capital. This will enable the prison to open earlier than originally planned to meet the needs of the growing and complex prison population. The redevelopment will be subject to value for money and affordability tests. While we cannot comment at this stage on the anticipated cost, the newest prison in the estate, HMP Berwyn in North Wales, cost £220 million when it was built in 2015-16. Only PF2 is being retired. We will continue to explore funding routes for the delivery of the remainder of the new places, including through private investment.</p><p> </p><p>The average cost per prisoner, costs per prison place and overall prison unit costs for each private and public sector prison in England and Wales are routinely published by Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service. This information is produced on an annual basis and is published after the end of each financial year in the Prison and Probation Performance Statistics pages on the <a href="http://www.gov.uk" target="_blank">www.gov.uk</a> website.</p><p> </p><p>We are investing tens of millions extra in prisons to ensure they remain places of rehabilitation and safe for prisoners and staff. A breakdown on cost details per prison place in respect of public sector prisons and those operated under contract (which includes privately financed prisons) can be found within the link under the file named: Costs per prison place and cost per prisoner 2017-18: supplementary information. Our investment includes the recruitment and training of over 3,500 new prison officers in the last two years which has increased our spending on prisons. This investment ensures prisoners have a genuine chance to turn their lives around and ultimately protects the public from crime.</p>

answer text <p>The sums spent on legal representation for Her Majesty's Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) at inquests into deaths in prison custody in each of the last five calendar years are set out below.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>£2,826,566.02</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014</p></td><td><p>£2,734,183.67</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015</p></td><td><p>£2,874,906.17</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016</p></td><td><p>£3,591,634.26</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017</p></td><td><p>£4,198,893.32</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>These are the costs of representation for both HMPPS and its staff. In the vast majority of cases the legal representatives are acting for both the agency and all members of its staff called as witnesses, and the respective costs cannot therefore be separated. In a very small number of cases separate representation is provided for one or more members of staff.</p><p> </p><p>These costs relate to the representation provided for public-sector prisons and their staff, and, since its creation in April 2014, the National Probation Service and its staff. The costs of representation for contracted prisons and their staff are met by the provider. Before April 2014 each Probation Trust met its own representation costs, and since then each Community Rehabilitation Company has done likewise.</p>

answer text <table><tbody><tr><td><p>HMP Birmingham is a ‘local’ prison and its primary function is to serve courts in the area and hold short-sentenced prisoners as they approach their release. As such, the onward allocation of sentenced prisoners to other establishments so they can progress with their respective sentence plans is normal for this type of prison. On 20 August HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) announced that there would be a temporary reduction in Birmingham’s capacity by 300 places. The capacity reduction was carefully managed and we worked closely with Governors across the estate to mitigate the impact elsewhere. The reduction in places was delivered through end of sentence releases, the diversion of court allocations to other prisons in the region and routine allocations of men to other establishments as part of their sentence progression. Men were transferred under the same criteria as all prison moves, taking into account a range of factors such as security category, resettlement needs and release address, offending behaviour needs and personal circumstances. Establishments which have received prisoners from HMP Birmingham since 20 August include: Brinsford, Dovegate, Featherstone, Garth, Lowdham Grange, Oakwood, Parc, Stoke Heath, Sudbury, Swaleside and Swinfen Hall.</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Details of prisons’ population levels and capacity (including Certified Normal Accommodation) in England and Wales are published monthly and can be found at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/prison-population-figures-2018" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/prison-population-figures-2018</a></p>

answer text <p>As set out in the 2016 Prison Safety &amp; Reform White Paper and 2017 manifesto, we remain committed to building up to 10,000 modern and decent prison places to replace old, expensive and unsuitable accommodation. We intend to build the first prison at Wellingborough through public capital, with construction work expected to begin late 2018 / early 2019 with completion projected for early 2021. We intend to build the second prison at Glen Parva using private finance.</p><p> </p><p>We will explore funding routes, including private finance, for the delivery of the remaining prison places. The financing models, timetable and costs for these will be dependent on the relevant value for money and affordability tests, planning permissions and commercial negotiations. The government remains committed to the delivery of these places, which will enable governors to achieve better educational, training and rehabilitative outcomes.</p> more like this
