To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to the Annual Report of the Independent Monitoring Board at HMP Swaleside, published on 3 September 2021, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of resettlement services offered at HMP Swaleside.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to the Annual Report of the Independent Monitoring Board at HMP Swaleside, published on 3 September 2021, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of resettlement services offered at HMP Swaleside.
There is room for improvement in the resettlement service offered at HMP Swaleside.
The Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) noted that 26 prisoners were released from Swaleside directly into the community without having spent time at a resettlement prison prior to release.
However, it should be noted that these men were provided with support in preparation for their release, including assistance with securing accommodation on release, setting up bank accounts and obtaining ID cards. Additionally, all prisoners are appointed a Community Offender Manager (COM), more commonly known as a Probation Officer when they are seven months from release or seven months from their parole date. The COM supports ex-offenders to help prevent them from re-offending after they leave prison.
The Offender Management in Custody (OMiC) model was implemented from April 2018 as a framework to co-ordinate a prisoner's journey through custody and back into the community. OMiC intends to put rehabilitation at the centre of custodial and post-release work to reduce reoffending and promote community reintegration. The Governor of HMP Swaleside, Mark Icke, and his team are committed to the success of this framework and are looking at ways to engage the population and local services to assist with resettlement opportunities.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to the Annual Report of the Independent Monitoring Board at HMP Swaleside, published on 3 September 2021, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of kitchen capacity at (a) HMP Swaleside and (b) HMP Standford Hill.

I am grateful that the Chair of the Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) at HMP Swaleside has raised legitimate concerns regarding the adequacy of the kitchen capacity at HMP Swaleside. The requirement for HMP Swaleside to providing a catering service for the prisoners located at HMP Standford Hill has created a pressure on the catering and refrigeration facilities at Swaleside and to some extent also impacts on the prison regime. Significant planning is taking place to explore the opportunities to building a dedicated on site catering centre at Standford Hill to meet the catering needs of the prisoners there. As a consequence of the current operating pressures, additional kitchen appliances have been provided to HMP Swaleside. I am informed that this has significantly improved the capability and capacity of the Swaleside catering operation.
I am grateful to the Governor at Swaleside and his catering team for the support they have provided to Standford Hill. In the longer term it is anticipated that the opening of a catering centre at Standford Hill will significantly reduce the catering operational pressures at Swaleside.
I beg to move,

Will my hon. Friend the Minister accept, with regard to benchmarking, that the prison officers on Sheppey showed a lead and embraced it enthusiastically?

I thank my hon. Friend for his intervention. I do accept that. The benchmarking was worked out with the help of the Prison Officers Association and, as he will hear in a second, has had some benefit for two of the prisons in his constituency.

Yes. It is delightful that among the small number of MPs present for the debate are three Kent MPs. That is probably unique. I do agree with my hon. Friend the Member for Dartford (Gareth Johnson), but there is another factor. That employment in Elmley and Swaleside is good for...

A court recommendation and/or;
For non-European Economic Area nationals: a custodial sentence of 12 months or more either in one sentence, or as an aggregate of two or three sentences over a period of five years or a custodial sentence of any length for a drug offence (an offence other than possession only);
For European Economic Area nationals: a custodial sentence of 12 months or more for an offence involving drugs, violent or sexual crimes or a custodial sentence of 24 months or more for other offences.
