To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what the (a) target and (b) actual (i) total hours achieved per establishment and (ii) average hours achieved per inmate in respect of each of the monitored activities set out in Prison Service Orders 7100a and 7101 was in each prison establishment in each of the last 10 years.
The information requested has, where available, been placed in the Library of the House.
It should be noted that targets for purposeful activity apply to the average hours of all purposeful activity per prisoner per week, rather than to the activities individually. Targets are available for 2002-03 to 2009-10.
The total hours and the average hours per prisoner per week achieved for each establishment are shown for the years 2000-01 to 2009-10.
The figures used in the answer have been drawn from administrative IT systems, which, as with any large-scale recording system, are subject to possible errors with data entry and processing.
