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. We will deliver this through a combination of both new prisons and the reconfiguration of existing establishments, to enable governors to achieve better outcomes.</p><p> </p><p>While our ambition remains the same, the way that we will deliver this programme has changed meaning that a direct comparison to the £1.3 billion figure is not appropriate. As the Chancellor set out in the budget on 30 October, we now intend to build the first two prisons through public capital at Wellingborough, which is due to open in 2021 and Glen Parva, which we expect to open in 2022 and we continue to explore funding options for the remaining prison places. We are planning to launch a competition later this year to establish a framework from which the operators of the new prisons will be chosen.</p>

answer text <p>MoJ funding for youth offending services is delivered through the Youth Justice Board Good Practice Grant. The changes in funding in real terms were as follows:</p><p> </p><ul><li>In the year beginning 2010: 165 million</li><li>In the year beginning 2011: 133 million</li><li>In the year beginning 2012: 118 million</li><li>In the year beginning 2013: 99 million</li><li>In the year beginning 2014: 98 million</li><li>In the year beginning 2015: 80 million</li><li>In the year beginning 2016: 74 million</li><li>In the year beginning 2017: 73 million</li><li>In the year beginning 2018: 72 million</li></ul><p> </p><p>These reductions were made in the context of wider savings made across the department. The MoJ is committed to ensuring there is sufficient funding for Youth Offending Teams whilst also ensuring public money is managed appropriately.</p><p> </p><p>YOTs continue to carry out vital work to support young people through the justice system and prevent them from entering it in the first place. The number of first time entrants to the youth justice system has fallen by 86% between 2007/08 and 2017/18, and by 14% between 2016/17 and 2017/18.</p>

answer text <p>As set out in my response to PQ178535, one of the measures Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) implemented after stepping in to run HM Prison Birmingham was to temporarily reduce the operational capacity by 300 places. The capacity reduction was not immediate and was delivered over time with the gradual reduction of the prison’s population through a combination of: end of sentence releases, diversion of court allocations to other prisons in the region and routine allocations of sentenced prisoners to other establishments as part of their sentence progression as is normal for a prison with a ‘local’ function.</p><p>Men who were transferred were subject to 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.</p> more like this
