HMP Wandsworth has seen a transformation from its 'catastrophic' past, marked by severe overcrowding and violence, to a more stable environment with renewed purpose. Following a recent inspection, the prison now demonstrates improvements in safety, reduced rates of violence and drug use, attributed to the leadership of new governor Andy Davy and increased investment in staffing and training. Despite ongoing security challenges, including a significant escape, the overall conditions in the prison have notably enhanced since last year's dire assessments.
"The improved stability and new direction at HMP Wandsworth signify a significant turn from its previous chaotic period, fostering safety and decency for inmates."
"The new prison governor has injected energy into resolving issues of safety and decency, addressing previously rampant violence and drug use among inmates."
