A Leeds prison has been praised for its safety, cleanliness and 'positive feel' in a report by prison inspectors
HMP Leeds was described as 'decent' in a report by HM Inspectorate of Prisons following an unannounced inspection over six days in June. But in his report, HM Chief Inspector of Prisons Charlie Taylor expressed concern about the Armley jail's 'very high' death rate, overcrowding and prisoners' dissatisfaction with the food.
Mr Taylor was also critical of the lack of time prisoners were allowed outside their cells and educational opportunities at the prison. He mentioned the Victorian prison's 'forbidding' appearance.
