Recommendation 25
25
Paragraph: 133
Establish mechanisms for collecting reliable data on prison use as 'place of safety'.
Conclusion
It is disappointing that data gathering on this issue is so poor, such that it is not possible to estimate the number of people affected across the prison estate. The Ministry of Justice should put in place mechanisms for the collection of reliable data on the use of custody as a place of safety or for a person’s own protection for all cohorts of prisoners (male, female and youth).
