This high security young offenders prison closed in 2000 as part of the national cut backs in the prison service and due to the rising number of suicides in the prison. It housed up to 158 young offenders although from remembering the cell blocks I thought it would have held more than that, will try to find out.. After the prison closed it was hired out to film companies. After that the cell blocks were demolished.
All that is left is the double outer perimeter fences with coils of razor sharp barbed wire round the inside of the perimeter and the main enterance block, all pics in the missilanious gallery. There is a path round the outside of the perimeter fence that you can walk round. Being there you feel lost for words especially looking at the high fences with barbed wire but knowing that there are people who need to be in these places.
