Public Information Page (PIP)
The Public Information Page (PIP) is a document produced once per quarter (typically 6-8 weeks after the end of the quarter) which provides a range of data about the people who are in custody. It is intended to increase transparency about our operations by proactively putting it in the public domain.
Research
SPS Research actively pursues a programme of research and evaluation covering agreed priority issues, using a combination of established quantitative and qualitative methods. We conduct in-house research such as the Prison Survey, as well as commissioning external research contractors to undertake specific projects. The role of research is to provide sound evidence upon which policy and practice can be founded.
