HMP/YOI Portland

We recently published a report on HMP/YOI Portland.

HMP/YOI Portland is an historic, category C prison located on Portland Bill, Dorset. When inspected in May 2017, it housed around 500 adult and young adult male prisoners. Our report found that safety had deteriorated markedly since our last inspection in 2014. Ready supplies of illicit drugs were linked to bullying and very high levels of violence. The senior team now have the opportunity to drive forward badly needed improvements.
