Paul Goggins: The following table shows the number of self-inflicted deaths involving women prisoners in each year since 1997, the
establishments in which the deaths occurred, the number of women who were on remand when they died, and the number of women who had
moved from another prison in the three months before their deaths.

1 To 1 June. 2 Prison Escort and Custody Services. Deaths in PECS custody include those that occur in courts, or during
transfer from police custody to court or prison, to or from court, or between prisons. 3 Annual total includes all remand,
convicted/ unsentenced, sentenced and judgment respited categories. The remand total is for those who died while on remand only. 4
Three months has been defined as 92 days. The definition does not rule out prisoners who may have spent time in their final prison
on an earlier occasion.
It is not possible to determine how many of the women who died had a substance misuse issue prior to entering prison, as such data
are not collated centrally.
The number of self-inflicted deaths among women prisoners is recognised as a very serious concern by the Prison Service and
Ministers. Women prisoners are to benefit from a specifically targeted and separate suicide prevention and self-harm management
strategy being developed for them. This builds upon a number of interventions including: individual crisis counselling for women
prisoners who self-harm; the continued development and evaluation of dialectical behaviour therapy, which is currently being
trialled at Durham, Bullwood Hall and Holloway prisons; investment and planning to ensure progress on the detoxification strategy in
women's prisons; and the introduction of a new training pack for all staff working with women in custody, which includes a module on
the health and well-being of women prisoners. £1 million from the Department of Health has been allocated to women's prisons
to be spent on the recruitment of psychiatric nurses.
