Birmingham scrutiny visit 2021
Report for Birmingham Prison
Summary
Overall this is an encouraging report. Given Birmingham’s recent history, its continued provision of decent living conditions and a calm, well-ordered environment suggest improvements are being embedded. However, oversight of safety arrangements, practice in the reverse cohorting unit (RCU) and education provision require some immediate attention.
