Berwyn inspection report 2022
Report for Berwyn Prison
Summary
Located in North Wales and opened in 2017, Berwyn is one of the most modern and one of the largest prisons in the country. Designated a category C training establishment but retaining a small reception capability serving North Wales, at the time of our inspection the prison held 1835 men. Built in a campus style, the prison comprised three main house blocks sub-divided in to eight wings, a wing consisting of two landings. Wings were referred to as ‘communities’ in the prison. The environment, both built and external, is currently amongst the best available in the prison system. Emerging from the COVID-19 restrictions, at this inspection we were encouraged to find a prison that was recovering well.
