Police have investigated 27 reports of rape and 34 other sex crimes as well as 344 alleged crimes of violence at Forest Bank prison since 2018.
They were among 1,648 crimes reported at the troubled, privately-operated prison in five years, according information obtained by the M.E.N.
Last month an M.E.N. investigation into Forest Bank prison uncovered allegations of widespread drug use and inmates who 'run the wings', prompting an MP and Salford's mayor to write to the government to demand an 'urgent' review.
