To ask the Minister of State, Ministry of Justice what the (a) certified normal capacity for prisons in Kent and (b) prison population in Kent is. (140808)

I believe the hon. member is referring to the certified normal accommodation (CNA), which is the uncrowded capacity.

The CNA for each prison in Kent, excluding Dover, which holds immigration detainees, and the population for each prison, as at 4 June 2007, is set out in the following table. The total population figure includes temporary approved absences.
