view:
The
building with the blue door is the hall used for visiting the offenders.
To the right of that is the Bosmere Unit, which is another housing
block. Opposite the Bosmere Unit is the Gymnasium and to the right
of that is the Healthcare Block. In the distance, just behind the
tree, is the library.
About
HMP & YOI Hollesley Bay:
HMP
Hollesley Bay lies within an estate of 1400 acres of rural Suffolk
and is the largest prison farm within the Prison Service. It was
founded in 1887 as a residential training establishment for fee-paying
students who were going to live in the Colonies.
The
Prison Commission acquired Hollesley Bay in 1938 when it trained
young offenders within the framework of the Borstal system.
The
establishment now provides different regimes for adult Category
D offenders - life sentence prisoners at the end of their custodial
time, and Young Offenders. The prisoners are housed on Wilforde,
Hoxon, Cosford, Stow and Bosmere units.
As
well as work on the estate, a Community Service Volunteer scheme
operates, where prisoners go out on work placements within the local
community. There are also opportunities within the Prince's Trust
and the Paid Working Out Scheme.
