From reform to reality at HMP Five Wells
Available for over a year
When HMP Five Wells opened back in 2022 – it was hailed as a radical, modern prison with a focus on rehabilitation. It has space for around 1700 men and its ethos was to help offenders nearing the end of their sentences find work in the community. Now, three years on, figures by the Ministry of Justice show it's now one of the biggest sex offenders’ prisons in Europe. Photo: Getty
