The expectations and standards of HMI Prisons and Probation informed both the design and planned operation of the new prisons at Wellingborough – to be known as HMP Five Wells - and Glen Parva. We will continue to involve both inspectorates as we take forward plans to create an additional 10,000 prison places as part of our investment of up to £2.5 billion to transform the prison estate and reduce reoffending.
