Serious sex offenders neglected by prison service, report finds

Report by chief inspector of prisons criticises conditions and rehabilitation efforts at Wakefield high security institution


Little or no effective work is being done with some of the most serious sex offenders behind bars, the chief inspector of prisons says in a report published on Friday. 

Nick Hardwick says in the report that almost half the 750 men held at Wakefield high security prison, many of whom are serious sex offenders, are in denial about their crimes, and there are no programmes at the jail to tackle their behaviour.
