The provision of work, education and training at a prison in Northumberland is not up to standard, a new report has revealed.
HMP Northumberland, located near Acklington, operates as a training and resettlement prison. It holds in excess of 1300 adult men, a significant proportion of whom have been convicted of sexual offences.
Unannounced inspections were carried out at the category C jail on August 22-23 and September 5-8 this year. A report, produced by by HM Chief Inspector of Prisons, reveals how the quality of the daily regime did not meet the standards expected of a training prison.
