HMP/YOI Downview: Prisoners
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether prisoners held in E-Wing at HMP Downview have contact with female prisoners in the general estate, including in activities, education, faith services and social visits.
Answered by Jake Richards
Prisoners on E Wing are held separately from other prisoners at HMP & YOI Downview.
Individuals may access the regime in the wider prison to attend work, education, interventions, and faith services but only where this has been risk assessed as being safe to do so. Any prisoners receiving such access are under the constant supervision of staff at all times.
There have been no assaults on prison staff committed by individuals placed on E Wing in the time period queried.
