HMYOI Aylesbury, a young offender institution (YOI) holding male prisoners aged between 18 and 20, was found to have become safer and showed some improvement in other areas. However, progress came after Aylesbury – in which nearly all prisoners are serving sentences from four years to life – was placed in prison service ‘special measures’, […]
HMP Highpoint, a large training and resettlement prison in Suffolk, was found to be safe and respectful with reasonably good provision of work, training and education.

Inspectors found a management team tackling many problems at HMP Lewes – a cramped, Victorian prison in East Sussex – when they revisited to assess progress nearly a year after a disturbing full inspection.
