Answer
We are investing £1.3bn to build up to 10,000 new prison places with better education facilities and other rehabilitative services. We will close down ageing and ineffective prisons, replacing them with buildings fit for today’s demands.
The new prison development at HM Prison and Young Offender Institution Glen Parva will be suitable for category C male prisoners. Prisoners transferring to the new prison on the Glen Parva site may come from any appropriate prison in the estate depending on their personal and resettlement needs.
