Government told to carry out 'urgent' probe following Manchester Evening News investigation into Forest Bank prison
An M.E.N. investigation into Forest Bank prison - which uncovered allegations of widepread drug use and inmates who 'run the wings' - has prompted an MP and Salford's mayor to write to the government to demand an 'urgent' review.
The facilities management giant, founded and based in France, runs six prisons in England and Scotland, and last year recorded revenues of 21.1 billion euros, including 'underlying operating profit' of more than a billion euros, up 83 per cent. "We are writing to request an urgent investigation into these reports of mismanagement with resultant report to be made publicly available. We also request a formal response on how much of the action plan referred to above has been implemented and if it has been fully implemented a detailed explanation as to why these issues seem to persist?
Over the years, the Manchester Evening News has consistently reported on issues at the prison; including how the prison vowed to crackdown on the use of smuggled phones in the prison after we reported how prisoners captured shocking acts of drug-fuelled cruelty inside the prison in 2016, including inmates pretending to be fighting dogs.. A guard resigned in the same year after he was caught watching porn on a wing computer.
