Justice Secretary Liz Truss is set to meet with leaders of the Prison Officers Association to address growing concerns over safety in jails.
Truss is expected to announce plans for prison reforms on Thursday 3 November, and recently told the House of Commons that there was a ‘serious issue with violence and levels of suicide’ in prisons, and stressed that addressing the situation was her top priority.
Figures suggest there are 65 assaults in jails every day. In the year to June, assaults on staff jumped by 43 per cent to 5,954, with 697 of these recorded as serious.
Truss recently announced £14 million in funding for more than 400 extra staff in prisons.
It is believed that the Prison Officers Association had been planning unofficial walkouts, before talks with Michael Spurr, the head of the National Offender Management Service, led to a relaxation of threats and meetings with Truss to be held.
