Her Majesty's Young Offender Institution (HMYOI) Aylesbury is a Young Offender Institution situated in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England. It is located on the north side of the town centre, on Bierton Road and is operated by Her Majesty's Prison Service.

History

There has been a prison or gaol of some description in Aylesbury since 1810. The current building is of early Victorian design and was modelled on Reading County Gaol,^[1] it has been on its present site since 1847 following extensive public building in the area that also included the workhouse (formerly the Tindal Centre). Since construction, it has gone through a variety of changes, starting as a county gaol, then became an adult women's prison in 1890, changing to a girls' borstal in the 1930s, and between 1959-1961 was an adult male prison, after which it became a male YOI, and since 1989 has held only male long term prisoners.^[2]

In 1998 HMYOI Aylesbury was criticised after an inspection report highlighted its poor health regime, which saw the rapid turnover of five senior medical officers in two years. The report opened up a wider debate about the pay of medical staff in UK prisons compared to those in the NHS.^[3]

In 2001 the Imam for HMYOI Aylesbury was suspended after allegations of inappropriate comments after the September 11 New York terror attacks.^[4] A year after this a study of Young Offenders' diets at Aylesbury (conducted by Surrey University) found that adding vitamins, minerals and other nutritional elements to the diets of Young Offenders 'remarkably' reduced their antisocial behaviour.^[5]

HMYOI Aylesbury prison was back in the headlines in 2007 after it was revealed to have a higher rate of self-harm by inmates than any other Young Offenders Institution in England^[6] Following the introduction of the Prison Service's ACCT (Assessment, Care in Custody, and Teamwork) system the rate of self-harm has reduced significantly.

In December 2008, police officers and Prison Service 'Tornado Teams' were called in to contain a disturbance at Aylesbury Prison, officially described as a 'Concerted Indiscipline'. The incident lasted six hours, and involved a number of inmates who were taking part in Eid celebrations. A number of these were charged with 'Prison Mutiny'.^[7]

In November 2009, a Prison Officer from HMYOI Aylesbury was jailed after it emerged that she had become pregnant after having a sexual relationship with an inmate. The Prison Officer was also convicted of smuggling three mobile phones into HMYOI Aylesbury.^[8]

The prison today

As a Young Offenders Institution, HMYOI Aylesbury holds long term male inmates between the ages of 18 and 21 only. Accommodation comprises single and double cells in seven residential wings and one segregation unit.

There are full and part-time education programmes at the YOI, which range from basic and key skills courses up to Art, French and Sociology at A Level and Physical Education. Vocational courses and work programmes include Construction, Painting and Decorating, Bricklaying, Motor Vehicle Mechanics, Industrial and General Cleaning, Laundry, Catering, Gardening and Waste management. Young Offenders also have opportunities to pursue award-based courses including the Duke of Edinburgh's Award.

In February 2013 HMYOI Aylesbury appeared in an ITV documentary focusing on the lives of inmates and officers.

In July 2017 a serious violent incident took place involving many inmates. Young Offenders and Prison Officers were injured some needing hospital treatment.^[9] In April 2018, a riot occurred, hospitalising four Prison Officers.^[10] Prisoners were frustrated because they spent the whole week locked in their cells and only had one chance a week to shower.^[11]
