Andrew Percy – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Andrew Percy on 2014-04-29.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many cellular devices have been confiscated from prisons in each of the last five years by establishment.
Jeremy Wright
Since April 2010, prisons have been asked to send all unauthorised phones and SIM cards found to a central unit for interrogation, or to notify the unit if an unauthorised phone or SIM card has been found but not sent for analysis. Data prior to April 2010 is not held centrally and data for 2013 and 2014 is being verified and is not yet available.
The table below shows the number seizures of mobile phones and/or SIM cards reported by each prison between April 2010 and December 2012. One seizure may constitute a handset containing one SIM card or media card, a handset only, or a SIM card only.
