Inhumane prison

'Inhumane' prison
 

 

The government has been forced to step in and take over the running of Birmingham Prison. Inspectors said action was vital after the jail - run by private firm G4S - fell into a "state of crisis", with violence being perpetrated with "near impunity". Some inmates are too scared to emerge from their cells, a report said, while groups of staff had locked themselves in their offices. Parts of the prison were also found to be filthy, with blood, vomit and rat droppings on the floor. As our home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw has pointed out, well-functioning prisons need strong leadership, hence why a new governor is being brought in, along with extra staff and a cut in capacity.

   

Last week, Prisons Minister Rory Stewart said he would resign in a yearif conditions didn't improve at 10 target prisons. While it's not on that list, Birmingham will not be returned to G4S until ministers feel "sufficient progress" has been made.
