Humber inspection report 2024
Report for Humber Prison
Summary
A category C prison in East Yorkshire, established from the merger of the former Everthorpe and Wolds prisons, Humber is a large, sprawling site with a varied mix of accommodation types, housing over 1,000 adult men. Since we last inspected, it had been designated a resettlement prison: this had led to new responsibilities, a significant increase in the turnover of the population and an increase in men nearing the end of their sentence. This was our first inspection since 2017, and it was reassuring to find a settled and very well-led establishment. Outcomes in our healthy prison test of safety had improved to reasonably good and had remained reasonably good in respect and preparation for release. Only in the provision of purposeful activity did outcomes continue to be insufficient. New arrivals were received well into the prison by caring staff and some supportive peer workers.
