The Ministry of Justice has purchased the following Additional Prisoner Places (APPs) in existing privately run prisons since February 2014.

We are unable to provide the cost of APPs at each prison as this information is commercially sensitive.

We have presented the information below setting out at which prisons the APPs have been purchased since February 2014, and the duration of these places.
