Bryden Wood touts ‘prison of the future’ design

摘要

Bryden Wood has suggested that its under-construction HMP Wellingborough jail in Northamptonshire could bea blueprint for prime minister Boris Johnson’s just-announced expansion of prison places.Over the weekend Johnson said he was backing the spending of an additional £2.5bn to deliver 10,000additional prison places and underpin a new era of tougher sentencing in a bid to take more dangerousoffenders off the streets and rehabilitate them.Bryden Wood said HMP Wellingborough, which is due to open in 2021 and is part of a £1.2bn Ministry of Justiceprogramme, would maximise the rehabilitation of its inmates and seek to “break the cycle of reoffending”.
