General View of HMP Woodhill, Milton Keynes.

INSPECTORS have called for a high security prison to be placed in emergency measures after being condemned as “fundamentally unsafe.”

HMP Woodhill in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, was found to have the worst levels of violence, bullying, intimidation, drug taking, attacks on prison officers and staff “voting with their feet” and leaving.

The prison holds about 500 male offenders, with some being Category A, including notorious prisoner Charles Bronson.
