REPORT: Deerbolt YOI
COVID-19 restrictions have led to a reduction in violence at Deerbolt Prison, but they have also ended all rehabilitation and education efforts, a report has revealed.
The Startforth jail’s independent monitoring board (IMB) highlighted a host of concerns including fake solicitors’ letters infused with drugs being sent to prisoners, some facilities and equipment in dire need of repair and education staff being removed from the site during the pandemic.
However, it praised a change in senior staff which brought “new energy, enthusiasm and insights that have noticeably improved the performance of the prison”.
Board chairman John Stoney said 2020 got off to a bad start with a serious incident in January.
