Eight years after a double escape via broken windows, repairs remain undone. Urgent investigative recommendations for window replacements have been ignored, highlighting the poor conditions and inefficiencies in prison funding.
Broken windows at Pentonville Prison , exploited in a double escape and the smuggling of deadly weapons, have remained unrepaired for eight years. The escape involved cellmates using a bedsheet to descend over prison gates, and stuffing beds to deceive prison staff. An urgent investigation recommended the replacement of 800 insecure windows and security grilles as a priority, yet eight years later, these repairs remain incomplete.
Prison conditions are described as appalling, with inefficient spending exacerbating the issue
