Mum fears for son's life in 'unsafe' prison once branded 'most violent in England'

A mum has shared her concern over her son's safety in a prison once dubbed 'England's most violent'. The worried parent claims conditions at HM Prison Werrington are 'unsafe'.

The son, who is said to have been imprisoned at the Young Offenders Institution for 10 weeks has relayed to his mother that he has witness several fights since he was incarcerated. The Werrington Juvenile Centre was last year called the 'most violent prison in England', reports Stoke-on-TrentLive.

The prison, which says violence is now at the lowest level in a year, is a 'sham' according to the mother who cannot be identified for legal purposes.
