Prison has 'inadequate training'



Inspectors have criticised Parc Prison in Bridgend for not having enough resources to carry out its role as a training prison for Wales.

An official report said there were only 70 education spaces for 1,200 male prisoners at the private jail.

The Prison Reform Trust said prisoners needed to learn adequate skills to be properly prepared for their release.

Parc said it was reviewing the matter but the local MP said inmates must have up to 40 hours a week on training.
