§ Mr. Kilroy-Silkasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department for how many hours in each 24 unconvicted prisoners at Brixton Prison are kept locked in their cells.
§ Mr. JohnThey are in their cells for 21½ hours, for three of which it is usually possible for doors to be unlocked and prisoners to visit one another. In practice this period may be shorter since an unconvicted prisoner may receive daily social visits, visits as necessary from his legal adviser, and may also be involved in interviews with staff.
