HMP Morton Hall

Open document

Report on an unannounced inspection of HMP Morton Hall by HM Chief Inspector of Prisons (30 October – 9 November 2023)

What we found

Since 2021, HMP Morton Hall has been a category C resettlement prison for adult male foreign national offenders. The inspection was mostly positive, with an encouraging and respectful culture and clean and decent accommodation in welcoming grounds. However, the quality of the regime and access to work and education fell short.

Points to note

Worryingly for a resettlement prison, many prisoners were frustrated by being unable to progress through their sentence and by a lack of contact with offender managers and there had been no use of release on temporary licence.
