Prison/Court Escort Service

Mr. Clegg: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what penalties have been imposed on the companies responsible for prisoner escorts in each of the last five years; and what the reason for the penalty was in each case. [85401]

John Reid: Penalties for the two main performance measures of failing to deliver prisoners to court on time and escapes from contractors responsible for prisoner escorts are set out in the following table. This information dates from 29 August 2004, when the current contract started.

Information on penalties imposed on contractors under the previous court escort contracts could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

Prisoners

David T.C. Davies: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many prisoners have been deported (a) before their non-parole release date (NPD) and (b) on, or shortly after, their NPD, in each of the last five years. [45873]

Fiona Mactaggart: Information in the form requested is not available without disproportionate cost.

Prisons

Mr. Bellingham: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment he has made of the effect of ear acupuncture in the high security prison estate; what plans he has to extend the availability of ear acupuncture in prisons; and if he will make a statement. [44374]

Fiona Mactaggart: There has been one study of the effect of ear acupuncture in the high security prison estate. The recent study undertaken in six high security prisons found positive effects associated with auricular acupuncture among prisoners, including reductions in worry, muscle tension, cravings and stress and improved psychological and physical well-being. There are presently no plans to extend the availability of ear acupuncture in prisons.

Mrs. Curtis-Thomas: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he is taking to reduce overcrowding in prisons. [44960]

Fiona Mactaggart: The Government have introduced credible, intensive community sentences, which courts can tailor to individual offenders who might have otherwise receive ineffective short prison sentences. We have also alerted courts to the availability of electronic monitoring to support a curfew imposed as a condition of bail. Courts are being encouraged to use this option instead of a remand in custody in appropriate cases. We are increasing useable operational capacity in prisons by building additional places as part of an ongoing funded building programme, as well as carefully managing accommodation at existing prisons.

Lynne Featherstone: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) how many incidents of self-harm (a) occurred and (b) gave rise to the need for resuscitation in each prison in each of the last five years for which figures are available; [45851]


2 Oct 2006 : Column 2625W

(2) how many self-inflicted deaths occurred during the first (a) 24 hours and (b) seven days in custody in each prison for each of the last five years; [45852]

(3) what percentage of self-inflicted deaths in prison occurred during the first (a) 24 hours in custody, (b) seven days, (c) 14 days, (d) 28 days, (e) three months, (f) six months and (g) year in custody, broken down by (i) males and (ii) females in each of the last five years. [45853]

Fiona Mactaggart: The number of recorded incidents of self-harm that occurred in each prison in each of the last five calendar years is shown in table A. The table includes all incidents of self-harm, however serious. Some individuals are responsible for multiple incidents.

The number of recorded resuscitations following self-harm incidents that occurred in each prison in each of the last five calendar years is shown in the table B.

As prisoners often arrive in prison during the second half of the day, their first day in prison (Day 1) is typically less than 16 hours; some of the day is spent in the custody of PECS (Prisoner Escort and Custody Services).

The number of apparent self-inflicted deaths that occurred on Day 1 in each of the last five calendar
2 Oct 2006 : Column 2626W
years, and where the deaths occurred, is shown in table C. The number of apparent self-inflicted deaths that occurred on a prisoner's first complete day in prison (Day 2), and the prisons in which the deaths occurred, is shown in the table D. (Please note that these figures do not include those in the 'Day 1' chart.) The number of apparent self-inflicted deaths that occurred during a prisoner's first week in prison (Days 1-7), and where the deaths occurred, is shown in the table E.

The numbers and percentages of male prisoner self-inflicted deaths for each of the last five calendar years, broken down by days following reception, are shown in tables F.

The numbers and percentages of female prisoner self-inflicted deaths for each of the last five calendar years, broken down by days following reception, are shown in tables G.

The Government recognise that prisoners are particularly at risk of self-harm in their early period in custody, coping with issues of fear of imprisonment, detoxification and/or the impact of arrest on their family. Prisoners in early custody are therefore subject to a number of policies and practices designed to enhance their safety. These include health screening upon arrival, the use of peer supporters ('Insiders') to offer information and support to new prisoners, and First Night and Induction procedures.

Mr. Garnier: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) how many inmates escaped from each prison in each of the last eight years; how many were recaptured within (a) one hour, (b) 12 hours, (c) 24 hours, (d) seven days, (e) 28 days, (f) six calendar months, (g) one year and (h) more than one year, broken down by category of prison from which they escaped; and how many in each category have not been recaptured; [77442]

(2) how many inmates have escaped from each category of prison in each of the last eight years; and how many in each category who escaped were (a) British citizens and (b) foreign nationals who had been recommended to the Home Secretary for deportation by the sentencing court on completion of their sentence. [77443]

Mr. Sutcliffe: A total of 114 prisoners have escaped from prisons in the last eight years, there have been no category A escapes and, as at 13 July 2006, 13 escapees remain unlawfully at large. Centrally available records indicate that none of the escapees were foreign nationals who had been recommended for deportation on completion of their sentence. One was an illegal immigrant. Time to recapture is not routinely recorded centrally and could be obtained only by examination of individual records.
