We will shortly be publishing an ad-hoc report on the prison estate conditions survey, which will contain information on the maintenance implications.

HMPPS is investing up to £220 million on maintenance this financial year 2024/25. We will continue to invest in the HMPPS estate in 2025-26, up to £300 million on maintenance to keep prisons safe and secure.
