I refer the honourable member to the answer given to PQ 38292 on 02 June 2016.
Reform prisons have unprecedented freedom over their regime and the rehabilitative services they provide, allowing their governors to innovate and run their prison as they see fit. We have put the tools to drive change in the hands of those at the frontline who know best what works. Governors are currently developing reform plans for their prisons. They are expected to tackle the most pressing challenges in their prisons which are likely to include many of these issues.
