Conditions at Wandsworth Prison have been severely criticised by Judge Stephen Tumin, Chief Inspector of Prisons. In particular Judge Tumin condemned the lack of progress in making improvements following his last inspection in 1989. He also pointed to the lack of leisure or work facilities for prisoners, many of whom spend 23 hours of the day locked in their cells. Sanitation, physical education facilities, meal times and visiting conditions were all unacceptable according to the report.

Independent 2.7.93.
