Conditions in women’s prison Eastwood Park like ‘a Victorian asylum’, says Chief Inspector of Prisons

Females with intense psychological health conditions are being kept in “dreadful conditions” in a jail with scratched and “blood-splattered” walls, a guard dog has actually cautioned.

Eastwood Park– a females’s jail in Gloucestershire– was provided the most affordable possible security score, in a report released today by the Inspectorate of Prisons.

3 ladies passed away there in 2015, and inspectors discovered rates of self-harm had more than doubled considering that 2019.

They concluded the jail was “basically unequipped to support the females in its care”– findings the Ministry of Justice referred to as “deeply worrying”.
