Inmates at two resettlement prisons are locked up for more than 22 hours a day with too little to do, inspectors have found.
Unannounced inspections at The Mount in Bovingdon as well as Brixton found that most of the 1,716 inmates at both sites were locked up for 22 hours a day and more on weekends.
Chief Inspector of Prisons Charlie Taylor said the findings “raise serious questions” about the lack of importance that prisons are giving to providing inmates with genuinely purposeful ways to spend their time”.The Mount, along with Brixton, was given the lowest “poor” rating for purposeful activity after inmates said they spent 22 hours or more a day locked up in their cells.
