Four years ago, inspectors found rats and cockroaches were rife in the Victorian prison, known locally as HMP Walton, with many inmates living in "squalid" conditions.
One area was deemed so dirty, infested and hazardous it could not be cleaned, while inspectors also found exposed electrical wiring and filthy, leaking toilets. In his September 2017 report, Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Prisons Peter Clarke found an "abject failure to offer a safe and decent" environment at the prison and said they were the "worst living conditions".
His January 2020 report, which followed an inspection in August and September 2019, concluded there had been a dramatic improvement at the Category B prison, which opened in 1855, but said more work needed to be done.

And, I’m still waiting to see the problem? The prisons here in Japan never use heating and it’s a hell of a lot colder than the UK!
Capitalism failing even in first world countries. Repair the heating system, imperialist
What about all the people who aren’t criminals who have to endure winters without heating
Old Victoria Prisons aren’t even suitable for modern day housing of 2021 prisoner

It is a very fine line between prison and normal life , one slip, one lack of judgement, who knows ..so especially this time of year perhaps we better show a bit of empathy they are not all murderers some just made mistakes that they will never make again 👍

‘It’s soul-crushing’: the shocking story of Guantánamo Bay’s ‘forever prisoner’In Alex Gibney’s harrowing documentary, the tale of Abu Zubaydah, seen as patient zero for the CIA’s torture programme, is explored with horrifying new details Not acknowledged enough is Obama, instead of capturing suspects & imprisoning them in Guantanamo like Bush, vastly expanded drone assassinations, instead. Yes, Bush tortured suspects. But Obama KILLED them outright w. no trial, along w/anyone else in the vicinity. Which is worse? 'Zubaydah, never charged with a crime or allowed to challenge his detention, is incarcerated at the Guantánamo Bay prison camp.' His point, thru' attorneys is war in Afghanistan is over. Charge with crimes/take to court. In forever limbo seems extreme even for a 'terrorist'
