Conclusion
HMPPS should formalise, standardise, and publish time out of cell data for every prison in England and Wales. It must closely monitor prisons that are failing to meet the statutory minimum and provide urgent support to enable compliance. Accurate and transparent reporting is essential to drive improvement and ensure accountability. (Recommendation, Paragraph 78)
