Bure scrutiny visit 2021
Report for Bure Prison
Summary
gate’ support had withdrawn all face-to-face contact with prisoners at the start of the pandemic until the week of our visit. In conclusion, the prison had managed well in protecting its frail and older population from the virus. The committed and caring leadership and staff group had maintained a safe, decent and very respectful prison despite the challenges of the pandemic. With national approval to move forward with its plan for recovery, the prison is in a strong position now to increase time unlocked and give much needed access to more purposeful activity.
