Comment
The higher than planned number of prisoner escorts reflects the impact of the higher than anticipated prison population (above the planned levels, which were based on the Ministry of Justice prison population forecast), and the high throughput of prisoners, particularly those on remand and short sentences. In these circumstances, there were a significantly greater number of prisoners requiring escort to courts than originally planned.
OUTPUT 4.2 Courtroom Custodial Supervision Services
This output entails the safe, secure and humane custody of remand and sentenced prisoners while they are at court.

Comment
The higher than planned number of prisoners supervised in courts reflects the impact of the higher than anticipated prison population, exacerbated by the throughput of prisoners, and particularly those on remand and short sentences. In these circumstances, there was a significantly greater number of prisoners requiring escort to, and consequently supervision in, courts than originally planned.
