Prison regime management plans
Dear HM Prison & Probation Service,

Please provide at least one Regime Management Plans for prisons in each of the categories below. Please provide as many Plans for each category as the cost limit allows.
Long Term High Security

Yours faithfully,
Lee Andrews

Dear HMPPS.Correspondence,
Thank you for your response.
The Minister stated that "Each prison has a Regime Management Plan that clearly sets out the full range of prisoner activities and services delivered within the prison, morning and afternoon, from Monday to Friday."
I am not interested in staffing levels. I am interested in 'the full range of prisoner activities and services delivered within the prison'.
Are you able to provide a version of the Regime Management Plan/s that do not feature staffing levels?
Yours sincerely,
Lee Andrews

Dear HM Prison & Probation Service,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of HM Prison & Probation Service's handling of my FOI request 'Prison regime management plans'. Several requests for clarification have been received, and this final one states that 'HMPPS is not obliged to search for and provide information up to the cost limit or to select which prisons to include in the response.'
While the Act may not oblige the authority to provide information up to the cost limit, it is not uncommon for requesters to frame requests in this way, as we have no idea how accessible the information is. It would be simple enough to select alphabetically from the list of prisons by category and provide the regime management plans for those.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/p...
Yours faithfully,
Lee Andrews

Dear HMPPS.Correspondence,
Thank you for your response. I am a bit confused by it - my request was explicit that I did not want information on staffing, and yet you have decided to withhold the plans because disclosing information on staffing would be prejudicial to safety and order.
Please can you review your response and, if possible, provide Regime Management Plans *with staffing details redacted* for the prisons requested.
Yours sincerely,
Lee Andrews
