(2) what the operational capacity was for (a) each prison and (b) the prison estate in each month since November 2007.
The following table shows the in-use certified normal accommodation (CNA)1 and operational capacity for each prison in England and Wales and for the total in-use CNA and useable operational capacity2 for the prison estate. Figures provided are for the final Friday of each month since November 2007.
1 In-use certified normal accommodation (in-use CNA), is the uncrowded capacity of an establishment after adjusting for accommodation out of use.
2 Useable operational capacity is the total number of prisoners that the estate can hold taking into account control, security and the proper operation of regimes, less the operating margin of 2000 places. This is because of constraints imposed by the need to provide separate accommodation for different classes of prisoner, i.e. by sex, age, security category, conviction status, single cell risk assessment and due to geographical distribution of prisons and prisoners.
