HC Deb 16 October 2001 vol 372 cc1195-7W
Mr. Stinchcombe

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many pr loners in each prison establishment are held(a) two to cell in a single cell and (b) three to a cell in a double cell. [5409]

Beverley Hughes

The table shows the number of prisoners in each prison establishment held two to a cell designed for one and total overcrowding at the end of August 2001. Data are provisional and subject to validation by prisons.

'Doubling' is a Prison Service indicator. The target is for doubling to be at or below 18 per cent. The rate of doubling for the year to April 2001 is 16 per cent.

The Prison Service does not collect centrally the number of prisoners held three in a double cell. Prisons report the total overcrowding level, which includes prisoners held three to a cell for two and those overcrowded in dormitories and larger cells.
