  14. NI prison costs 'shocking'published at 17:04 GMT 29 November 2016

    DUP MLA Jim Wells says it's shocking that it costs the Northern Ireland Prison Service 40% more on average to house each prisoner than the Scottish Prison Service. 

    Justice Minister Claire Sugden told Mr Wells that the average cost per prisoner in Northern Ireland is £57,643 compared to £35,182 in England and Wales and £34,399 in Scotland. 

    Ms Sugden told Mr Wells that she did not believe the figures were directly comparable given the different challenges faced by the Prison Service here, such as accommodating paramilitary prisoners.
