Wandsworth Prison condemned
artdoc August=1993

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.
