Wandsworth inspection report 2018
Report for Wandsworth Prison
Summary
might be for the staff to deal with the dirty and untidy wing offices that I saw throughout the jail, and to encourage the prisoners to take pride in their surroundings. In common with many other prisons of this type, prisoners at Wandsworth had far too little time out of their cells. As mentioned above, we found that some 42% were locked in their cells during the working day. This, combined with Ofsted’s finding that the overall effectiveness of learning, skills and work, and the achievement of prisoners engaged in it, was inadequate, made it inevitable that the area of purposeful activity was assessed as ‘poor’. It should also be noted that at the last inspection we made 13 recommendations to improve purposeful activity. On this occasion, we found that none of those recommendations had been achieved.
