Peterborough inspection report 2024

Summary

HM Prison Peterborough, operated by Sodexo, is a reception and resettlement prison serving Eastern England. A modern facility, the prison opened in 2005 and is capable of holding 944 adult men, although just 906 were on the roll during this inspection. Peterborough also has an entirely separate women’s facility adjacent but within the prison wall. We inspected that part of the prison in November 2023. At recent inspections, we have reported positively on the outcomes at Peterborough, highlighting the prison as one of the better reception and resettlement prisons in the country. We last inspected in 2018, and although we expressed significant concerns and rehabilitation and release planning, we found outcomes that were reasonably good or better.
