Prison Service: Uniforms

Answer

The following table details the amount spent on staff uniforms, clothing and personal protective equipment for all prison staff working in the young offender establishments listed. It is not possible to separately identify expenditure on staff uniforms for prison officers only. To do so would require each establishment to separately examine a high volume of local records and thus would incur disproportionate cost.
