Response

A

Data is based on prisoners that have recorded their place of birth as the UK (including Northern Ireland). All were transferred to the UK.

2019 - Eight prisoners were transferred

2020 - Seven prisoners were transferred

To answer this question, we took the data of all New Receptions in 2019 and 2020 whose place of birth is in the UK and with effect 22 June 2021 recorded whether they are still in custody at HMP La Moye. To put the data in perspective other reasons for prisoners no longer being in custody have been given. Findings as follows:

2019 – nine Transfer Application Received

2020 – 12 Transfer Applications Received

In 2019 one transfer was made without a request on medical grounds.

No transfers were made in 2020 without a request.
