- HMP Wandsworth hit the headlines last year when an inmate escaped. But as this programme has since reported, the prison is plagued with problems, including rampant drug use, overcrowding, violence, self-harm and suicide. (Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News...)
Now, it's become the sixth prison in a year and a half to be issued with an Urgent Notification for improvement after inspectors found serious security failings, squalid conditions and prisoners in despair. Its governor resigned this week.

"a high profile and embarrassing alleged escape" 02:51 what was 'alleged' about it?? 🤔 The guy escaped!!
she began saying that sentence as began reading your comment. that was very strange lol
Your freedom being taken from you is the punishment the courts hand down.
Prisoners are entitled to a clean, safe environment and one hours fresh air per day.
Education, Gymnasiums and time out of cells socialising are privileges that can be expected in most prisons as long as they are well staffed and the population is well behaved.
Extra items like TV upgrades, games consoles and release on temporary license take YEARS to earn on the IEP scheme.
These establishments couldn’t be any less like ‘holiday camps’. They are constantly stressful & violent with self harm, drug abuse and bullying ever present.
Anyone with the belief that UK prisons are a soft option hasn’t the first clue what they are talking about unfortunately. Even the well maintained, modern and fully staffed jails are an ordeal to survive and after 14 years of a Tory Ministry of Justice coupled with a Tory Home Office the whole estate has been financially decimated.
Don’t expect much of an improvement after the general election with a former CPS chief moving into Number 10.
Cannabis is not the problem mate.
It’s the ray gise
Curry and rice
‘It is said that no one truly knows a nation until one has been inside its jails. A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones.’ (Nelson Mandela)
It’s true. Yes, prison should be a punishment (mainly being the taking away of freedom, but it should also be no holiday camp), but if a nation doesn’t have a strong focus on the rehabilitation of those who _can_ be rehabilitated, then that nation is just doomed to send repeat offenders back to prison.
Got it in one. I left the service after 20 years. It is complete disarray
When I was inside (YOI wetherby) so for ages 15-18. This was 13years ago now, the prison officers were called ‘screws’ by prisoners but anyways there was some really nice screws in there and one said to me ‘the court dish out the punishment and it is our job to look after you, we aren’t here to make your life more miserable’. I always had respect for the screws, used to chat to them on exercise and association. I do actually miss one of them Mr Ali.. it’s a shame all prisons aren’t like this but under staffing is a real issue. I never felt disrespected or mistreated in anyway by the screws, it’s a high stress job too..
@@chrissmith6245 most screws r thicker than the cons they lock up
Reform is needed in failing prisons
7 suicides in one year, damn that's high.
Still 10x better than most prisons around the world.
Oh shut up😂
Never been inside this one but I know someone who has and he said it was ok. I only used it for parking before I found out that an industrial estate nearby never checked the cars so started parking there instead.
Fairplay lol😅
This is ridiculous we have no prison places left and the prisons we have are falling apart.
How drugs get into prison?
Thrown over fences - sent over with drones - screws bring drugs in - screws sometimes have relationships with prisoners - also visits with people and people pass drugs to the inmate on visit ! Many many ways - also new prisoners coming in smuggle stuff up there 👆🏾 dirty purse 😂
Where was the investigation when the screws killed that guy in the segregation unit?
So is every other prison in the uk
Prisoner should be put to work skate parks should be built the creativity using wood different designs giving in mates capentery skills! Each prison should have more sports & skate park made!!
I am second time I am watching a broadcast on this prison facility . Reminds me of a prison the remand yard in my homeland. What I find more astonishing no reform programs for prisoners .
Staff retention is half the problem. In recent years it's been like a revolving door. Due to the introduction of staff cuts, lower starting pay and poorer shift-patterns it became a less attractive career choice. That, combined with increased violence, drugs and inexperienced staff has made a recipe for disaster.
pull it down
we need more room for tories.
I have been involved with HMP Wandsworth and I can tell you that the facilities provided for occupational activities are very good.
Did you just pop in for a bru lad
My Son is in here at the moment! He's has problems with alcohol for the past 16 years. He needs proper help and won't get that in prison where he is just a number and a commodity as many others are, in men's and womens prisons. Have they just put him in here to finish him off!!!!! He's 36 now.
Sounds like the house of commons
who’s here after that prison guard giving the hawk tuah to the inmate?
“…and of course suicide” that’s a strange way to say that 😂
gotta rep the classics
Drug dealer making money so how does the drugs get into HMP
Officers 👮♀️
All these old jails are the same. pentoville bedford etc. run down and depressing
If you commit a crime you go to prison this time in prison should not be easy for in the inmates
Is there anything the tories can run
UK prisons have been crumbling & overcrowded for decades.
Who would have thought that if the UK's population increases by 15% since the millennium, that the prison population might also increase by, at least, a similar amount?
Remember, these inmates will be returning back to society someday. It is awful to hear about deplorable conditions in these facilities
Shouldn't do the crime ifya can't do the time .
Turn it into a hotel
Cost of prison £40,000 a yr.
We could spend the money to get results not intensify problems.
Cant do the time? Dont do the crime
Boils down to not enough staff after years of cuts
My job is like being in prison.
Or you a prison officer?
honestly i hope it is really alot worse
Prison should be encouraging prisoners to do well in life . Prisoners shouldn't be served a death penalty. Prisoners human rights should be protected
Don’t commit crimes and you want go to prison! Reap what you sow!
Great video
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
Well said
Do ya fink they shouldn’t of closed Camphill and all those other jails and sacked all the experienced staff? Our infiltrators are dismantling every institution
Get these cons working in chain gangs
Palestinian France Prisoner escapes😮Planned over 3 months,ex military/police /prison insiders are involved,the Prisoner & his crew are involved in huge drug trafficking, which French police missed their drug trafficking
Why don’t they make the prisoners do chores in the prison so they can gain things they have jobs in the prison don’t they
Know retired screw n all keys have been duplicated n it's a wild place run by the prisoners.
And nothing will get done and it will only gel worse, to many experiend staff have left and now you have people who used to stack shelves in tescos etc then has 6 weeks training and then expected to be able to deal with serious criminals drug addicts menel health and many more issues
I’m in love with Katie Holmes
I used to work around Wandsworth and there was a couple of spots just outside the prison I'd have to go to.
The area itself seems fairly nice but the prison looks very intimidating. It just looks 'wrong'. Seeing a report like this doesn't surprise me in the slightest. It emanates this in a way that could probably be measured with some kind of meter or special camera.
Wowwww hmm 🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾
They are prisoners. They are criminals so leave them rot
Bring back rock breaking 12 hours a day. No time to spare, no time to get into trouble
Idiotic comment. Look at the root cause of poverty and desperation and you’ll see TORY Britain staring back at you. Prevent crime by investing in PEOPLE.
Thrown over fences - sent over with drones - screws bring drugs in - screws sometimes have relationships with prisoners - also visits with people and people pass drugs to the inmate on visit ! Many many ways - also new prisoners coming in smuggle stuff up there 👆🏾 dirty purse 😂
What do you expect when you have boatloads of people arriving in the uk each week..the population jumped by over 6 million almost overnight yet the infrastructure stays the same..can’t see the problem. Welcome more in. 😂😂😂
THEY NEED TO LEARN FROM THOSE STRICT RUSSIAN AND THAT MEXICO PRISONS.
Was in Wandsworth in January of this year it isnt as bad as its being made out, Bedford is much worse
Just because there is even worse, is not good
put the successful drug dealers in charge of the economy?
It's a prison 😂. What else do you expect for criminals?
Send prisoners to Rwanda , cheaper .
Tory Britain
There not hotels
The sentence is loss of freedom. Not constant danger and disgraceful treatment.
@@davidkavanagh189 no one gives a f
@@CarlBland-tn1jo Lots of people do. Just not poorly informed people like you with no forward thinking of what happens when these abused inmates are released into society. Would you like to see more drug addicts on the streets? Engage your brain before typing.
@@CarlBland-tn1jo incorrect.
A Toilet 👎🏴
This country is a joke.
More middle management...
I hope this is satire
Who cares nobody
Well you should because the people that come out are worse than when they went in. The prisons are falling apart, over full so that now sentences are made shorter or no custodial sentence at all. None of this makes for a safer society. You can despise the crimes and some of the criminals but it's about keeping the public safe, and this isn't doing that. The cutbacks over by he last 14 years also means probation services are cut to the bone, then those people come out and commit more crimes
You should care! Remember, one of these inmates will be your neighbor one of these days
@@annetteslife stupid believes don't you have someone to keep you warm
So? They committed crimes. It's not supposed to be a resort
It is a place where an inmate should leave having been trained to take his place in society. It is not a place where he should have been humiliated , driven to suicide or have become addicted to drugs.
It's a local remand prison... some people end up being acquitted and some convicted. So not all what you may think.
Painful ignorance.
The country is collapsing due to bad administrative governance.
Probably G4S running it . 🤬
Wandsworth ain't no joke all the old London nicks are I've done 2 of them and wanny is the pits !GATE13SW6CREW cfc
