PRT comment: incident at HMP Frankland

PRT was distressed to hear of the attack on prison officers over the weekend at HMP Frankland. Commenting, Pia Sinha, chief executive of the Prison Reform Trust, said:

“Our thoughts are with the three officers injured in this savage attack. Staff in prison do an incredibly difficult and important job in often challenging circumstances. It is right that a full investigation into this incident takes place and lessons are learnt to minimise the risk of it happening again.”
