Ms Quin

There are no plans to change the arrangements for the provision and administration of the prison workshops at Garth and Wymott. Wymott is part of the Prison Service Workshop Expansion Programme, which aims to maximise employment for prisoners, extend workshop hours and maximise the revenue from the sale of goods and services to local businesses.
