The information requested is commercially sensitive due to the on-going and future procurements planned across the programme.

Additional prison places will come online in the financial year 2022/23 with 480 places to be delivered via the rapid deployment cells project, 90 places at High Down and the ongoing increase in the number of prisoners at HMP Five Wells.
