UK’s first private prison condemned in report
By Robert Verkaik
Britain’s first private prison, opened in the year Ken Clarke was Conservative Home Secretary, was roundly condemned by independent inspectors today.
Prisoners at HMP Wolds were found to be high on drugs while prison officers were low in confidence, said Dame Anne Owers, Chief Inspector of Prisons, in a report seized on by penal reform groups who have criticised the over-reliance of private companies to run new prisons.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
