There are serious category prisoners such as murderers and rapists and Shelton Abbey-type prisoners. What is the cost per prisoner and the level of manpower per serious category prisoner? I do not know how many prisoners fit this category. What are the costs associated with catering for serious category prisoners? Is half the figure associated with serious category prisoners and those who require more manpower and need to be watched more? Is a breakdown available?
