(asked on 28th August 2020) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many and what proportion of inmates are housed in double cells in each prison as at September 2020.
Upon arrival into custody, all prisoners’ suitability to share a cell is risk assessed. These assessments are based on numerous factors including index offence, health concerns and security information (such as beliefs and prejudices). There are benefits to some prisoners sharing cells for the positive impact it has on mental health and stress levels, in addition to many prisoners preferring to share a cell.
The table below identifies the number of prisoners sharing cells holding two or more people as at 1 September 2020. The detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large-scale recording system.
