Family's fear for prisoner left 'in darkness' after electricity fault

Inmates in a category C prison were "in darkness" after several wings were left without full access to electricity.

Inmates in HMP Wymott, in Leyland, were left without full access to electricity on Friday and Saturday last week following a fault. The ECHO was notified of the issues by a concerned relative who claimed the men were "in full darkness" following the issues.

The woman, who wanted to remain anonymous, said she was "very concerned" for the wellbeing of her nephew, who has been at HMP Wymott for around a year. The 42-year-old, from Crosby, told the ECHO: "I feel very concerned for my nephew's safety and physical and psychological wellbeing."
