HMYOI Glen Parva: Staff

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what recent assessment her Department has made of the adequacy of the ratio of staff to young people at HMP Glen Parva in 2016; and what the adequacy of such ratios is up to 2020.

Answer

As the Justice Secretary has announced, we are investing over £100m in staffing, and will recruit an extra 2,500 prison officers to increase safety and support prisoners to reform.

We will apply for planning permission to redevelop the site of HMP & YOI Glen Parva. If we successfully achieve planning permission at the site, HMP & YOI Glen Parva would close and be replaced by a new, fit for purpose, facility.
