The Verne was slammed in a report released today.
A prison holding Gary Glitter and hundreds of other sex offenders is failing to challenge their criminal behaviour, a watchdog warned. Chief inspector of prisons Charlie Taylor said there were "worrying weaknesses" at HMP The Verne.
Glitter, real name Paul Gadd, is among more than 600 sex offenders serving time at the 19th century former citadel in Portland. Earlier this year, he was ordered to pay more than half a million pounds in damages after being sued by one of his victims. Although his sentence expires in February 2031 - by which time he could be aged 86 - a former head of Scotland Yard's Paedophile Unit previously suggested he will likely die in prison after being re-called.
Setting out the findings of an inspection in July, in his report Mr Taylor said: "Although HMP The Verne was a generally safe and respectful jail, this report also reveals some worrying weaknesses in addressing the offending behaviour of many prisoners.
