The partner of an inmate at Nottinghamshire prison has raised concerns over the wellbeing of people behind bars. Remie Jackson, of Mansfield, expressed worries over an alleged lack of access to mental health support and the employment of young agency staff at HMP Lowdham Grange.
The prison said that the safety and welfare of its staff, prisoners and visitors remain its "top priority". Ms Jackson, 26, whose partner David Gregory, 42, is serving an 18-year prison sentence for firearm sales, claimed the prison was a worse place to be since it changed hands from Serco to Sodexo in February.
"There's a big staff turnover, it's mostly young agency workers. Nineteen-year-olds can't keep a regime in place. They are fully grown men who have not got the best temperament," she told Nottinghamshire Live.
