§ Paul GogginsThe following prisons are scheduled to be part of the wing refurbishment scheme during the next financial year:
- Lincoln
- Preston
- Wakefield
- Wandsworth
- Pentonville
- Winchester
In addition, work to improve conditions in other prison wings may take place, while this up-grading work is being undertaken.
In order to increase capacity across the prison estate, some refurbishment work may have to be deferred. Decisions on which schemes may be affected are still subject to consideration.
