| Notes: 1. Displayed figures are subject to rounding. 2. Establishments are categorised in these tables by their main role as at the end of 2008-09 for all periods reported. Establishments that have more than one role have been placed in the category that represents the primary or dominant function of the prison. For this reason, performance of prisons within a category cannot necessarily be compared on a like for like basis. 3. YOI refers to Young Offender Institutions. 4. Data for Elmley, Standford Hill and Swaleside, is reported under the Sheppey cluster. Similarly data for Blakenhurst, Brockhill and Hewell Grange is reported together as a cluster. (as Hewell Grange) Data for Parkhurst, Camphill and Albany is now reported under the Isle of Wight cluster. 5. Cookham Wood changed from a Female closed prison to a Male juvenile prison in October 2007. Data for 2008-09 is now shown under the category Male Juvenile. 6. Dover and Haslar are Immigration Detention Centres (IDC) operating under Detention Centre Rules 2001. Lindholme includes Lindholme IDC. It is a split site, part Category C Training Prison and part Immigration Detention Centre. 7. The following expenditure is not included: a one-off impairment charge of £496 million following revaluation of land and buildings; Operation Safeguard (use of Police Cells); cost of capital on assets in the course of construction, expenditure at HMPS Bure as it had not yet opened. | ||||
Prisoners: Training
Paul Holmes: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what percentage of the prison population undertakes employment-related activities; whether he has made a recent estimate of the annual average number of hours spent by prisoners on such activities; and what recent assessment he has made of the merits of such activities. [305409]
Maria Eagle: In 2008-09 an average of 13.36 hours per prisoner per week were spent on employment-related activities.
It is not possible to provide figures for the percentage of the population that takes part in employment-related activities. This is because the regime's monitoring database records activities in hours and does not allow those activities to be broken down by individual prisoner.
Increasing offender employment rates is critical to our strategy to increase social inclusion and reduce
reoffending. A key aim is to provide prisoners with employment skills, experience and motivation so they become productive members of society. A survey from 2008 of prisoners' own perception of need(1) found that most said they needed help with finding employment (48 per cent.), getting qualifications (42 per cent.) and work-related skills (41 per cent.) ahead of other help or interventions such as finding accommodation (37 per cent.), offending behaviour (34 per cent.) and drug problems (29 per cent.).

Prisons: North West
Andrew Stunell: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what the full-time equivalent staffing level at each prison establishment in the North West was in each of the last five years. [304692]
Maria Eagle: Information on the full-time equivalent staff in post in each Prison Service establishment in the North West since 2005 is contained in the following table. The information relates to both public sector and contracted establishments.

| (1) Figures are on headcount rather than full-time equivalent basis. (2) HMP Kennet opened in 2007. Note: The information relating to public sector establishments has been derived from the Personnel Corporate Database and Oracle HRMS. These are subject to the normal levels of inaccuracy expected of any large-scale reporting system. Information concerning the two contracted prisons in the North West-Altcourse and Forest Bank-has been provided by the individual contractors. | ||||||
