How HMIP scores are shown

Adult-prison Healthy Prison Assessments score Safety, Respect, Purposeful activity and Preparation for release from 1 (Poor) to 4 (Good). Immigration removal centre assessments use the labels Activities and Preparation for removal and release. A report with no indexed scores is described by its report type instead of displaying empty score boxes.
