Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 18 February to Question 14640 on Open Prisons, how many (a) male and (b) female Cat-D prisoners committed offences in each category listed; and how many of those prisoners committed each offence in the violence against the person category.
The attached document shows a breakdown of the sentenced prison population recorded as having a Category D individual-level security category, by category of offence, as at 31 December 2019, England & Wales. This includes 'Female Open' and 'YOI Open' categorised prisoners. It should be noted that whilst the majority of these prisoners would be held in open conditions (either in open prisons, or on open wings within closed prisons) a number of these prisoners would be in non-open conditions while awaiting transfer to open conditions.
