Take a tour around the new 'super prison' HMP Berwyn
- 7 years ago
Luxury £212 million HMP Berwyn has all the mod cons: Inmates who live in rooms not cells can use their own MOBILE PHONE and order meals or groceries on their own LAPTOP
HMP Berwyn has partially opened near Wrexham, Wales, and will eventually become UK's biggest prison
It can cater for 2,100 prisoners, dwarfing rival HMP Oakwood, near Wolverhampton, which holds 1,600
Two man 'rooms' - not cells - have laptops and phones which can be used once 'the privilege is earned'
The prison also has full-sized 3G football pitch and a children's play area in the family visitor area
Inmates get their own phones and laptops at the UK's biggest and newest prison, it can be revealed.
HMP Berwyn, which opened in Wrexham, can hold more than 2,100 prisoners, dwarfing HMP Oakwood, near Wolverhampton, with a 1,600 capacity.
Each two-man 'room' - they are not called cells - will have a laptop as well as a phone, shower and toilet.
The laptops will not have access to the internet but will be used to arrange visits, order meals for the week and do weekly shopping, as well as complete any work related to their studies.
