Eastwood Park - a Gloucestershire women's prison - was given the lowest possible safety rating in a new report. Charlie Taylor, Chief Inspector of Prisons, tells JackieLongc4 “I’ve never come across conditions so poor. It was like… a Victorian asylum.”
Eastwood Park – a women’s prison in Gloucestershire – was given the lowest possible safety rating, in a report published today by the Inspectorate of Prisons.
Three women died there last year, and inspectors found rates of self-harm had more than doubled since 2019. They concluded the prison was “fundamentally unequipped to support the women in its care” – findings the Ministry of Justice described as “deeply concerning”.
