Prisoners: Rehabilitation Mrs. Gillan To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many prisoners in each prison in Wales are registered as having a drug or alcohol problem; and how many are engaged in a rehabilitation course. Mr. Hanson No records are kept of the number of offenders with drug or alcohol problems. The numbers engaged in drug treatment (2006-07) in Welsh prisons are given in the following table ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |Wales prisons |Clinical interventions1|CARATs2 (assessments)|Drug rehabilitation programme starts 3| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | | | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |Cardiff |788 |732 |96 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |Pare |400 |362 |96 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |Prescoed/Usk |n/a |236 |n/a | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |Swansea |453 |402 |152 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |n/a = not available. 1 Clinical intervention may involve detoxification or maintenance. 2 Counselling, assessments, referral, advice and throughcare.

Mrs. Gillan To ask the Secretary of State for Justice if he will publish the report on the 12 step drug rehabilitation programme in Swansea prison which led to its closure. Mr. Hanson There was no formal report informing the closure of the 12 Step Programme at HMP Swansea. The decision was reached after detailed discussions between the Governor of HMP Swansea and the Wales Area Drug Co-ordinator, with support from the National Drug Programme Delivery Unit (NDPDU). A key factor involved in the decision was the NDPDU audit reports. Copies of which I have placed in the Library of the House. Mrs. Gillan To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what (a) drug and (b) alcohol rehabilitation courses are available at each prison in England and Wales. Mr. Hanson A comprehensive framework is in place to address the needs of those with substance misuse problems: clinical services are available in all local and remand prisons, including alcohol detoxification (see following list 1); Counselling, Assessment, Referral, Advice and Throughcare (CARAT) services are available in all prisons with the exception of HMP Blantyre House. CARAT teams provide support to those where alcohol is part of a multiple drug misuse problem; the substance misuse service for 16 to 18-year-olds provides support for those with an alcohol problem (see following list 2); intensive drug rehabilitation programmes are run in 102 prisons (see following list 3,); Alcoholics Anonymous run groups in approximately 60 per cent. of prisons—the list of prisons is not held centrally and I will write to the hon. Member and place a copy of the list in the Library of the House; and intensive alcohol rehabilitation programmes are currently being piloted at HMP Bullingdon and HMP Featherstone. 1.
