Inside H.M Prison Dartmoor

Terrye & prion office Ian Harris outside Darmoor Prison

Last Monday I went with Tim Jones from the Devon & Cornwall Business Council to HMP Dartmoor. Tim and I have been consulting on setting up a print room there.

The prison officers showed us around and some suitable space for teaching prisoners skills in the print industry.

'C' wing was in need of complete refurbishment. This wing would provide 125 cells. The prison, following repeated requests, have not heard whether this refurbishment will take place so the wing just languishes.

Meanwhile in the South west alone 110 prisoners are being held in police station cells.
