Huntercombe scrutiny visit 2021
Report for Huntercombe Prison
Summary
should not have been sanctioned by the prison for refusing to sign immigration paperwork. This also confused the prison’s role, in managing and caring for prisoners, with Home Office procedures. Equality and diversity management structures were in place and good work had been carried out to understand potential equality concerns, although not always to deliver actions. The chaplaincy remained active and had resumed running small faith groups for religious discussion. Health care was effective. Despite staff shortages, the well managed department continued to deliver essential services.
