Prison plan for former hospital


Prison plan for former hospital

A former psychiatric hospital could become a prison under new proposals.

A meeting involving the owners of the North Wales Hospital site in Denbigh and a Ministry of Justice minister has taken place to discuss the plans
.

I fail to see how Denbigh Hospital which was built in 1844 and closed in 1995, could become a new prison. Before you even start it is out of date. New prisons should be designed and built for the specific purpose. This has all the hallmarks of sticking a plaster on a broken leg.
