As temperatures outside plummet to below-freezing, HMP Bristol has confirmed it is working to "urgently resolve" heating issues at the prison that have been ongoing for three weeks.
An anonymous source contacted Bristol Live, claiming A and G wings at Horfield prison have been without heating and hot water for nearly three weeks. Bristol Live previously reported on the prison's intermittent heating in the same wings back in February.
At that time, Bristol Live was told by a prison service spokesperson they were “working to urgently resolve intermittent heating issues at HMP Bristol.”
