Private Prisons

Volume 456: debated on Wednesday 7 February 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many cases there were of (a) doors found to be unlocked and (b) prisoners (i) absconding and (ii) escaping at each privately run prison in 2005-06. (117568)

The information is provided in the table.

The incident reporting system does not provide a discrete figure for doors found to be unlocked. These are reported within the category for incidents involving locks and keys. The table therefore provides figures for the total number of incidents involving locks or keys within the reporting periods.
