About the event
This project will deliver new houseblocks for HMP Elmley as part of a Government initiative to increase the number of prison places.
The project will also build state-of-the-art workshops which will aim to cut reoffending and crime by getting more ex-offenders into jobs. This push at other prisons has already seen the proportion of ex-prisoners employed six months after release increase by two-thirds (66 per cent).
Designed with security and rehabilitation in mind, the innovative design of the new houseblocks will include x-shaped buildings with wider landings to increase visibility of multiple wings – helping officers to maintain order. The designs will also mean easier access to supporting facilities such as additional healthcare and kitchens, promoting rehabilitation and helping prisoners to turn their lives around.
