number of adult prisoners serving life sentences and cost per head to the public.

The request was partially successful.

Michael Rooney

Dear Sir or Madam,
I would be pleased to know if you could please supply the answers to the following questions?

1. What are the latest figures of prisoners serving life sentences, and of those, how many could be elligable for early release?

2. Could you give me the cost per head of keeping a person in prison, per annum?

3. Could a person convicted in the UK and sentenced to life
imprisonment, be forced or allowed to serve that sentence
in another country not under the protection of the British Government?

4.Are prison visits granted at the behest of the appropriate governor or are there regulations controlling
visitation rights?

Yours faithfully,

Mr. Michael Rooney
