The prison is operated by Her Majesty's Prison Service. HistoryBrinsford was opened in 1991 as a YOI and Remand Centre. The site had been previously acquired from the Ministry of Defence, and already housed Featherstone Prison. In 2001 Brinsford was branded a disgrace after an inspection found the prison's regime to be negligent and lacking in understanding towards prisoners, with large indicators of self harm, fear of safety and bullying at the prison.[1] A year later two additional education blocks were built at Brinsford, with the regime promising a renewed focus on education and training at the site. In 2003 four prisoners escaped from Brinsford after assaulting a prison officer and stealing his keys to an administration block. The four inmates then smashed a window and escaped over the prison's perimeter wall.[2] In 2008 an additional residential unit and activity centre were built at Brinsford. This resulted in a reduction of places for Juveniles, and an increase in places for Young Offenders at the prison. In 2016 it was in the process of changing to a Category C male prison. The prison todayBrinsford holds Young Offenders and Adults (those aged over 18). Accommodation at the prison comprises five Residential Units: Unit 1 Supported Living Unit for those prisoners with complex needs; Unit 2 for men attending work; Unit 3 for Induction to the prison; Unit 4 is a Healthy living Unit; and Unit 5 those men reaching an enhanced level of behaviour within the systems. All cells have integral sanitation, television and electricity, while cells in Unit 5 also have showers. Education at the prison is provided by Milton Keynes College and courses offered include: Literacy and Numeracy; Social & Life Skills; Communication & Application of Number; ESOL; Practical Crafts; Visual Art; Cookery; Information Technology; Painting and Decorating; Woodwork; Horticulture; Cleaning Science; Physical Education; and Music. Other facilities at the prison include a gym and sports pitches, Chaplaincy service, Job Centre, PIN telephones, Legal Services, Incentives and Earned Privileges schemes, Connexions and the Samaritans. InspectionsThe last inspection of HMYOI Brinsford was from 4–15 November 2013. The inspection found that the situation at the institution had not improved since the previous inspection in 2012. The Chief Inspector of Prisons stated that Brinsford had "the worst overall findings my inspectorate has identified in a single prison during my tenure as Chief Inspector". The report found that the prison failed at inducting new inmates to the regime, that the level of violence was "too high", that a quarter of inmates surveyed said that it was easy to get drugs into prison. The report also found that many cells were "squalid" in condition and that communal areas were "dirty and in need of refurbishment". The inspectorate found that just under a third of the inmates were not engaged with either work or education programmes. Overall, they found that the institution required "significant improvement" and that while staff were aware of the problems raised, they were "overwhelmed" and unable to improve the situation.[3] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1195087.stm |title=UK | Youth jail branded 'disgraceful' |publisher=BBC News |date=2001-03-01 |accessdate=2013-04-12}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/west_midlands/2944288.stm |title=UK | England | West Midlands | Two men escape from prison |publisher=BBC News |date=2003-05-28 |accessdate=2013-04-12}} 3. ^Report on an unannounced inspection of HMYOI Brinsford by HM Chief Inspector of Prisons, 4–15 November 2013 External links
