Concerns over prison conditions

Concerns over prison conditions

Conditions at Dartmoor Prison are putting staff, visitors and the public in "real danger", a report has claimed.



The Independent Monitoring Board says the jail has too many prisoners and that some cells are "barely habitable", with 40 out of action because of damp.

The board also claims cuts proposed for prison and probation services present a danger to the safety of the public and to those who live and work in the jail.

The Ministry of Justice said it was considering the report.


Instead of merely just considering the report, why doesn't the MoJ do something about the appalling conditions?
