Kate Green – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Kate Green on 2015-02-11.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many punishments of removal from wing were given to prisoners in each private prison in England and Wales in each year since 2010.

Andrew Selous

A total of 17 prisoners were removed from the wing or living unit as a punishment, following a guilty finding under the internal disciplinary system, in private prisons from 2010 to 2013. Figures for 2014 are not yet available.

If a punishment of removal from the wing or living unit is given, the prisoner or young offender (including people under 18) will be relocated to other accommodation within the establishment, but otherwise continues to participate, as far as possible, in normal regime activities, in association with other prisoners or young offenders.

The breakdown for each prison in each year is:

2010

HMP Parc – 2

HMP Peterborough – 1

2011

HMP Doncaster – 7

HMP Parc – 2

HMP Peterborough – 1

2012

HMP Dovegate – 2

HMP Thameside – 1

2013

HMP Thameside – 1
