Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 13 February 2020 to Question 13458 on Prisons: Crimes of Violence, what the average number of additional days was for additional days punishments in each year from 2011 to 2018.
This question was answered on 27th March 2020
The prisoner discipline system upholds justice in prisons and ensures incidents of prison rule-breaking have consequences. Only Independent Adjudicators, who are District Judges or Deputy District Judges can make an award of additional days to a prisoner’s custodial time left to serve.
