HMP Dovegate: Prisoners

Answer

HM Prison and Probation do not hold data on the number of Prison Custody Officers certified. This table displays the number of funded posts at each privately managed prison for January, for each year where data is available.

Prison	2018	2017	2012	2010
HMP Ashfield	173.35	152	Not Available	Not Available
HMP Birmingham	501	499.5	521
HMP Bronzefield	352.66	332.79	355	369
HMP Doncaster	411.47	406.48	404	590
HMP Dovegate	521.6	526	539	543
HMP YOI Forest Bank	529.38	573	548	Not Available
HMP Lowdham Grange	449.3	406.6	Not Available	Not Available
HMP Peterborough	580.5	618.01	551.45	Not Available
HMP Rye Hill	255.75	257	246	259
HMP Thameside	399	406
HMP Northumberland	398.3	408.3

The blank areas on the table indicate that a prison was not open in that year (Thameside and Northumberland) or that the prison was operated by the public sector at that time (Birmingham). Where data for a particular year is not available, this is indicated in the table. As the provision of this management information is not a contractual requirement, some of the historical data was not captured.

This table displays the population at each privately managed prison for 31^st March each year, prison population figures are published regularly.

Prison	2018	2017	2012	2010
HMP Birmingham	1,290	911	1,465	1,461
HMP Bronzefield	517	553	503	527
HHP Doncaster	1,112	1,134	1,134	1,120
HMP Dovegate	1,115	1,089	1,112	1,137

Operators of privately managed prisons are required to deliver sufficient recruitment and training of staff to ensure they maintain a safe, decent and secure prison as per their contractual obligation. The performance of all providers continues to be robustly managed. We will not hesitate to take action if and when standards fall short.
