The government plans to build Britain's largest prison, housing more than 2,000 inmates, in either London, the North-west or North Wales. Four new 'mini-prisons' or houseblocks will also be built to expand existing prisons at Pare in South Wales, Peterborough in Cambridgeshire,The Mount in Hertfordshire and Thameside in London. These extended prisons will replace older, more expensive prison capacity and hold up to 1,260 prisoners.
