National Audit Office - Ministry of Justice and National Offender Management Service - HC 735
The current strategy for the prison estate in England and Wales has provided good quality accommodation, suitable for decades to come for prisoners with a wide range of security categorizations. The strategy is also a significant improvement in value for money over the short-term and reactive approaches of the early and middle 2000s. However, the strategy has resulted in the closure of several prisons that were performing well, and their performance has not yet been matched by new establishments. Some prisoners still routinely share cells, some of them in overcrowded conditions. The strategy understandably focuses on cost reduction and, by 2015-16, it will have resulted in total savings of Â...
Annual Report HM Chief Inspector of Prisons for England and Wales 2005/2006
HM Inspectorate of Prisons for England and Wales (HMIP) is an independent inspectorate which monitors conditions for and treatment of those in prison, young offender institutions and immigration removal centres.

The Prisons Handbook
This guide to prisons, remand centres and young offenders institutions in England and Wales was written by a former prisoner with first-hand experience, as an inmate, of more than 50 of Britain's prisons. The prison-by-prison detail has been compiled from official reports supplemented by questionnaire replies from inmates and staff. It includes practical information on each establishment: visiting hours; workshops; education; chaplaincy; medical services and sports facilities. Further sections provide advice on useful organizations, foreign prisoners, health problems, financial matters, welfare, religion, discharge grants, release, women prisoners and young offenders.
Competition for Prisons
A quarter of a century has passed since the Thatcher government launched one of its most controversial reforms: privately run prisons. This book offers an assessment of the successes and failures of that initiative, comparing public and private prisons, analyzing the possible and claimed benefits of competition, and looking closely at how well the government has managed the unusual quasi-market that the privatization push created. Drawing on first-person interviews with key players and his own experience working in prison finance, Julian Le Vay presents the most valuable look yet at the results of prison privatization for government, citizens, and prisoners.
