Victim Support Schemes
Mr. Nicholas Brown:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what responses he has received about the piloting of the Victims' Advocate Scheme. [147159]
Mr. Hanson:
The response to the scheme is very encouraging. The pilot began in five Crown court centres on 24 April 2006. There are currently 258 eligible cases and in 199 of these the family has chosen to make a statement in court or access personal and social legal advice. As at 18 June 2007, 40 family impact statements had been made with 38 delivered orally in court and in two read privately by the judge.
Young Offender Institutes
Mr. Vara:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what the maximum capacity of young offender institutes was in each year since 1997, broken down by (a) male and (b) female accommodation. [146120]
Mr. Hanson:
The following tables provide the operational capacity, at the end of June for each year from 1997 to 2006, of each designated Young Offender Institution (YOI) in England and Wales.
The tables list those sites that only hold under 21-year-olds either on remand or as sentenced young offenders. Operational capacity describes the total number of prisoners for the whole prison. For those establishments that have split functions, the operational capacity for the different functions are not available.
Women young offenders are held in accommodation designated for young offenders within women's prisons.
