"a high profile and embarrassing alleged escape" 02:51 what was 'alleged' about it?? 🤔 The guy escaped!!

Cannabis is not the problem mate.

Your freedom being taken from you is the punishment the courts hand down. Prisoners are entitled to a clean, safe environment and one hours fresh air per day. Education, Gymnasiums and time out of cells socialising are privileges that can be expected in most prisons as long as they are well staffed and the population is well behaved. Extra items like TV upgrades, games consoles and release on temporary license take YEARS to earn on the IEP scheme. These establishments couldn’t be any less like ‘holiday camps’. They are constantly stressful & violent with self harm, drug abuse and bullying ever present. Anyone with the belief that UK prisons are a soft option hasn’t the first clue what they are talking about unfortunately. Even the well maintained, modern and fully staffed jails are an ordeal to survive and after 14 years of a Tory Ministry of Justice coupled with a Tory Home Office the whole estate has been financially decimated. Don’t expect much of an improvement after the general election with a former CPS chief moving into Number 10.

Reform is needed in failing prisons

‘It is said that no one truly knows a nation until one has been inside its jails. A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones.’ (Nelson Mandela) It’s true. Yes, prison should be a punishment (mainly being the taking away of freedom, but it should also be no holiday camp), but if a nation doesn’t have a strong focus on the rehabilitation of those who _can_ be rehabilitated, then that nation is just doomed to send repeat offenders back to prison.

This is ridiculous we have no prison places left and the prisons we have are falling apart.

Still 10x better than most prisons around the world.

Never been inside this one but I know someone who has and he said it was ok. I only used it for parking before I found out that an industrial estate nearby never checked the cars so started parking there instead.

7 suicides in one year, damn that's high.

Where was the investigation when the screws killed that guy in the segregation unit?

I am second time I am watching a broadcast on this prison facility . Reminds me of a prison the remand yard in my homeland. What I find more astonishing no reform programs for prisoners .

Prisoner should be put to work skate parks should be built the creativity using wood different designs giving in mates capentery skills! Each prison should have more sports & skate park made!!

we need more room for tories.

Staff retention is half the problem. In recent years it's been like a revolving door. Due to the introduction of staff cuts, lower starting pay and poorer shift-patterns it became a less attractive career choice. That, combined with increased violence, drugs and inexperienced staff has made a recipe for disaster.

pull it down

My Son is in here at the moment! He's has problems with alcohol for the past 16 years. He needs proper help and won't get that in prison where he is just a number and a commodity as many others are, in men's and womens prisons. Have they just put him in here to finish him off!!!!! He's 36 now.

Sounds like the house of commons

I have been involved with HMP Wandsworth and I can tell you that the facilities provided for occupational activities are very good.

So is every other prison in the uk

“…and of course suicide” that’s a strange way to say that 😂

Is there anything the tories can run

Cost of prison £40,000 a yr. We could spend the money to get results not intensify problems.

My job is like being in prison.

Boils down to not enough staff after years of cuts

Drug dealer making money so how does the drugs get into HMP

Remember, these inmates will be returning back to society someday. It is awful to hear about deplorable conditions in these facilities

Turn it into a hotel

How drugs get into prison?

All these old jails are the same. pentoville bedford etc. run down and depressing

UK prisons have been crumbling & overcrowded for decades. Who would have thought that if the UK's population increases by 15% since the millennium, that the prison population might also increase by, at least, a similar amount?

honestly i hope it is really alot worse

Great video

I’m in love with Katie Holmes

Shouldn't do the crime ifya can't do the time .

Do ya fink they shouldn’t of closed Camphill and all those other jails and sacked all the experienced staff? Our infiltrators are dismantling every institution

Prison should be encouraging prisoners to do well in life . Prisoners shouldn't be served a death penalty. Prisoners human rights should be protected

Cant do the time? Dont do the crime

Wowwww hmm 🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾

Know retired screw n all keys have been duplicated n it's a wild place run by the prisoners.

And nothing will get done and it will only gel worse, to many experiend staff have left and now you have people who used to stack shelves in tescos etc then has 6 weeks training and then expected to be able to deal with serious criminals drug addicts menel health and many more issues

Why don’t they make the prisoners do chores in the prison so they can gain things they have jobs in the prison don’t they

wandsworth gets a 4 star rating from me, the food is good it drops 1 star because the guests are a bit noisy

Thrown over fences - sent over with drones - screws bring drugs in - screws sometimes have relationships with prisoners - also visits with people and people pass drugs to the inmate on visit ! Many many ways - also new prisoners coming in smuggle stuff up there 👆🏾 dirty purse 😂

I used to work around Wandsworth and there was a couple of spots just outside the prison I'd have to go to. The area itself seems fairly nice but the prison looks very intimidating. It just looks 'wrong'. Seeing a report like this doesn't surprise me in the slightest. It emanates this in a way that could probably be measured with some kind of meter or special camera.

Palestinian France Prisoner escapes😮Planned over 3 months,ex military/police /prison insiders are involved,the Prisoner & his crew are involved in huge drug trafficking, which French police missed their drug trafficking

Get these cons working in chain gangs

Was in Wandsworth in January of this year it isnt as bad as its being made out, Bedford is much worse

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

What do you expect when you have boatloads of people arriving in the uk each week..the population jumped by over 6 million almost overnight yet the infrastructure stays the same..can’t see the problem. Welcome more in. 😂😂😂

put the successful drug dealers in charge of the economy?

It's a prison 😂. What else do you expect for criminals?

Bring back rock breaking 12 hours a day. No time to spare, no time to get into trouble

More middle management...

THEY NEED TO LEARN FROM THOSE STRICT RUSSIAN AND THAT MEXICO PRISONS.
