Written question asked by David Lammy (Labour) on Friday, 22 October 2021, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 26 October 2021. It was answered by Victoria Atkins (Conservative) on Monday, 1 November 2021 on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.
Prisoners: Women
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what proportion of women prisoners in England and Wales are in prison as a result of non-violent offences.
- Answer
-
The most recent data indicates that 36% of the female prison population are held for offences of violence against the person. However, of the remaining 64%, there may be other offenders held for offences where violence has occurred but because there is no set guidance on which other types of offences should be classed as ‘violent’/’non-violent’, it is difficult to provide an exact total proportion.
