Problems with self-harm and overcrowding remain at prison

The unannounced inspection in June from HM Inspectorate of Prisons of the “forbidding” 19th century prison found that there had been eight self-inflicted deaths since 2019 and that there had been some “very serious” incidents of self-harm.

The report was praiseworthy of the prison though, with Charlie Taylor, Chief Inspector of Prisons, saying: “Our findings confirmed to us that Leeds is a well-led prison and that leaders and managers were visible about the wings and had a realistic understanding about the challenges and opportunities, and that priorities were communicated successfully to staff and prisoners.”He also pointed to the cleanliness of the prison and the art work and murals that had been added as positives.

Salcey Forest: Tree top walkway to be removed due to 'safety issues'The estimated £1.7m cost to repair and maintain the walkway is too steep, Forestry England says. So sad. Surely when building and erecting it a strategy for repair and maintenance was factored in. Why oh why has it come to this? More wasted money. tompradio this is so sad, is there nothing we can do as a community to save this wonderful walk or replace it? Fundraising? I am even up for some sort of extreme challenge, come on we can do this.💚 serial_miller This is such a shame! Unique and lots of fun, esp for wheelchair users.
