New figures show that 12 out of 16 YOIs do not meet the HM Inspectorate of Prisons target that young people should spend at least 10 hours a day out of their cell.
Over the month of September 2009, young people were locked up for an average of 16 hours 18 mins in Stoke Heath YOI, meaning they were out of their cells for just 7 hours 42 mins each day.
Also failing to meet the target were Brinsford, Castington, Cookham Wood, Downview, Feltham, Hindley, Huntercombe, Parc, Warren Hill, Werrington and Wetherby.
Across all YOIs young people spent an average of 9 hours 24 mins out of cells.
