uin	164487
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2021 answer text <p>We have committed over £150 million to deliver 500 additional prison places across the women’s estate. The design of the new accommodation is being developed to be trauma-informed and gender specific with improved outcomes for women. Our design principles include requirements around ensuring suitable visiting spaces are provided, greater in-cell communication options informed by the COVID learning, and in open designs, the potential inclusion of rooms to support overnight visits for mothers and their children (currently already delivered in two prisons within the women’s estate). This substantial investment will also increase the number of single cells and availability of in-cell showers. In addition, these places will also allow more women to be held in open conditions, consequently providing greater opportunities for employment and education while completing their sentence.</p><p> </p><p>This is not an ‘either-or-approach’ as we are also investing approximately £80 million in community drug treatment, £70 million in accommodation services, £2 million for women’s centres and a further £2 million to support 38 grassroots organisations doing incredible work steering women away from the criminal justice system.</p> answering member constituency Cheltenham answering member printed Alex Chalk question first answered 16/03/2021 17:42:50 answering member 4481 label Biography information for Alex Chalk
