Whitemoor scrutiny visit 2020
Report for Whitemoor Prison
Summary
By contrast, the cleaning of communal areas required improvement. Around one in five prisoners was employed as a cleaner but these prisoners were given only 30 minutes to clean each morning. This created COVID-19-related risks and led to wings looking grubby in places. Systems for redress were in disarray and the Independent Monitoring Board remained offsite. Prisoners were very negative. This was largely because the well-equipped self-catering kitchens had been closed.
