Full Sutton inspection report 2020
Report for Full Sutton Prison
Summary
Overall, Full Sutton is a prison that performs its important function well. It is fundamentally a safe and decent establishment, benefitting from energetic leadership and a staff group who interact well with the prisoners in their charge. If the plans that are now in place to improve the provision of education, skills and work bear fruit, and a few key issues in other areas are addressed, there is no reason why Full Sutton could not aspire to be one of the best performing prisons in the country.
