| Description | : | HMP Wormwood Scrubs is a local category B prison and accepts all suitable male prisoners over the age of 21 from courts within its catchment area. The establishment has five main wings plus a number of smaller dedicated units. A and B wing manage both remand and sentenced prisoners whilst C wing manages prisoners on the Intensive Drug Treatment System which offers enhanced support for offenders with substance misuse needs. D wing has single cell accommodation which caters for those prisoners who are the main workforce for areas such as Kitchens, Gardens and ground cleaning. The wing is also staffed for the Difficult to Manage Programme prisoners and those unable to share accommodation. A super enhanced wing is now fully operational and manages those prisoners considered to be trustworthy and who have key roles within the establishment either as key workers or who provide peer support for areas such as the Samaritans or educational support programmes. E wing is single cell accommodation whose purpose is primarily for the resettlement of prisoners back into the local area whilst the Conibeere Unit manages prisoners who require a substance misuse stabilisation regime. All the accommodation has electricity and integral sanitation with a TV and accompanying bedroom furniture. There is a contracted prison shop which is run by Aramark who provide a large selection of consumables for purchase by the prisoners. |
