Covid’s 23-hour locked-up inmates are “dangerous,” the prison manager warns.
In an interview with BBC Newsnight, SM’s chief prison inspector Peter Clark said keeping prisoners in their cells for such long periods under Covid’s restrictions had an effect on their intellectual health.
While the Prison Officers Association (POA) says the resolution to spread the virus has led to a minimisation of violence and self-harm, Clark disagrees and says the argument is “superficial. “
She said self-harm was increasing in women’s prisons.
The England and Wales Inspection, which must be waived at the end of October, has visited dozens of prisons since the start of the pandemic and said inmates who finished 23 hours a day in their cells had a non-unusual practice.
Convicted prisoners can leave their cells to go painting or studying, socialize for a short time, and exercise.
But since closing, they’ve been restricted.
Clark said this amounted to “solitary confinement,” adding that “we, as a nation, cannot say that this is acceptable. “
THE NATIONAL President Mark Fairhurst said no one wanted to see prisoners held in their cells for such long periods, but noted that there have been 20 outbreaks lately.
Clark asked Justice Secretary Robert Buckland to work with criminal leaders to find a viable solution for the duration of the physical fitness crisis.
