Time out of cell
4.31
Time out of cell is another area where we found significant differences between the reported
experiences of children in STCs and YOIs.
4.32
In our questionnaire, we ask children if they usually spend more than two hours out of their
cells or rooms on weekdays and, in a separate question, at weekends. Across the estate
three-quarters of respondents (75%) said they spent over two hours out of their room on
weekdays but only 38% said the same about Saturdays and Sundays. However, for both
questions, the proportions reporting more than two hours out of cell were significantly
higher in STCs than YOIs (94% compared with 71% for weekdays and 93% compared with
27% at weekends).
