No prison closures (male or female) are currently planned beyond those already announced.

The prison estate is kept under careful review to ensure there is always sufficient capacity, and we have committed over £4 billion capital funding to make significant progress in delivering 18,000 additional prison places across England and Wales by the mid-2020s.
