The Annual Prison Performance Ratings are published to ensure transparency of the final performance assessments of both public sector and privately-managed prisons across England and Wales.
The Annual Prison Performance Ratings covers overall performance assessments for all prisons, alongside assessments for individual performance measures for each prison. This publication covers reporting for the period between the 1 April 2019 and the 31 March 2020. The overall performance of each prison within this period has been graded into one of the following four ratings:
4: Performance is exceptional
3: Performance is acceptable
2: Performance is of concern
1: Performance is of serious concern
A revised version of the publication was uploaded to clarify the text on data comparisons over time. No other figures or text were changed.
