Prisons: Buildings
(asked on 21st February 2017) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many buildings within the prison estate have exceeded their intended life cycle.
This question was answered on 24th February 2017
The life cycle of prisons currently in planning or under construction is, for the purposes of business case development, 60 years. The performance of buildings within the existing prison estate is not measured according to life cycle, which is a more recent component of business case development. We keep the entire prison estate under review to make sure that it remains fit for purpose.
