Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many and what proportion of prisons provide planned activity to all inmates who are neither unwell or undergoing punishment which involves morning and afternoon purposeful activity between Monday and Friday.
All prisons have systems in place for the day-to-day management of regime delivery. This ensures that regimes are safe, decent, secure, resilient and sustainable. Each prison has a Regime Management Plan that clearly sets out the full range of prisoner activities and services delivered within the prison, morning and afternoon, from Monday to Friday, in accordance with Regime management planning: PSI 07/2017 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
