Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what progress has been made on the roll-out of body-worn cameras for prison officers.
This question was answered on 6th November 2017
The roll out of Body Worn Video Cameras was completed in June 2017 and there are currently nearly 6,000 in use across the estate. Body worn cameras will considerably aid safety in prisons, acting as a visible deterrent against violence and assisting in prosecutions against those who commit crimes in jails.
