"The latest inspection of Rainsbrook secure training centre has been published this morning. At the time of the inspection it was being run by G4S but MTCNovo took over this week.

The child jail held 61 boys and 13 girls.

This is the third inspection report in the space of a year following the disastrous inspection last spring and the follow-up that found some improvements.

Overall the findings are pretty damning, illustrating how the experiment of secure training centres has failed children for two decades. It has, however, succeeded in providing profits to the security companies running them, although, as G4S has found, that comes at the price of reputation."
