Shut squalid young offenders' prison, reformers urge
Inspectorate finds inmates living in filth and without window panes at HMYOI Brinsford
Prison reformers called for a young offenders’ institution to be closed down yesterday after inspectors found inmates living in “squalid conditions.”
Inmates at HMYOI Brinsford had been living in dirty cells which contained graffiti and were poorly furnished, HM Inspectorate of Prisons said following an unannounced inspection.
A report added that some did not have window panes, leaving inmates exposed to the elements and there was no toilet screening in a number of shared cells.
