Inmates at HMP Hindley have been locked in their cells around the clock since Monday
Inmates at HMP Hindley have been locked in the cells since Monday as bosses battle a 'near-tsunami' of drugs. A friend of one inmate told the Manchester Evening News lags hadn't been allowed out for a shower or exercise for two days until yesterday .
"It isn’t right to keep them all locked up whilst a search is ongoing in the entire prison. They should at least let them out supervised for an hour or two. All visits have been cancelled." Mr Taylor said: "Hindley is facing an uphill battle: many prisoners arriving at the jail had an existing drug problem, and a large minority had known links to organised crime, so it's unsurprising that the prison had a near-tsunami of drugs. The situation was so bad that mandatory drug testing found more than half of prisoners were on drugs at any one time.
Cramped accommodation, the old kitchen and the physical security of the prison were named as examples of the poor condition of the prison's infrastructure which meant it needed investment from HM Prison and Probation Service to deliver improvements.
