Mr. Michael Forsyth
Responsibility for this matter has been delegated to the Director General of the Prison Service, who has been asked to arrange for a reply to be given.
3WLetter from Derek Lewis to Mr. Doug Hoyle dated 20 March 1995:
The Home Secretary has asked me to reply to your recent Question about the latest figures for performance against the Prison Service's key performance indicators from 1 April 1994 to the latest available date.
The available information is set out in the enclosed tables. I should explain the following points:
| KPI 1 escapes: |
the attached figures show the number of escapes from each prison, including escapes from escort outside the prison (but excluding prisoners who were immediately recaptured) from 1 April to 31 December 1994 inclusive. |
| KPI 2 assaults: |
the attached figures show the number of offences of assault by prisoners on staff, prisoners and others which are proved in disciplinary proceedings and which result in a punishment being awarded, and the rate of assaults as a proportion of the average population (expressed at an annual rate), from 1 April to 31 December 1994 inclusive. |
| KPI 3 overcrowding: |
no prisoners have been held three to a cell in units of accommodation certified for one person during the current financial year. |
| Young offender institutions |

| KPI 4 sanitation: |
96 per cent. of prisoners had access to sanitation 24 hours a day at the end of January 1995. We are on course to provide all prisoners with access to sanitation at all times by the end of February 1996. |
| KPI 5 purposeful activity: |
the attached figures show the average number of hours a week which prisoners spent in regime activities in the period 1 April to 31 December inclusive. |
| KPI 6 time unlocked: |
the attached figures show the average number of hours which prisoners were unlocked on weekdays at the end of January 1995. |
| KPI 7 visits: |
all establishments have provided prisoners with the opportunity to exceed minimum visiting entitlements throughout 1994–95. |
| KPI 8 cost per place: |
information about the average cost per prisoner place for individual establishments is not available in a meaningful form until after the end of the financial year, because of variations in the phasing of expenditure in-year. Figures for 1993–94 are published in the Prison Service's Annual Report for that year, a copy of which is in the Library of the House. |
