Good evening. Inspectors have raised concerns about the high levels of

:00:15.:00:17.

double what they see in other local prisons. The high`security category

A jail has been described as "disappointing" after a surprise

Keynes the report found levels of assault and violence were very high.

:00:40.:00:45.

Many prisoners said they felt victimised and unsafe. The number of

:00:46.:00:49.

inmates self`harming was at a worrying level. The amount of time

:00:50.:00:53.

the men spent out of their cells had dropped considerably. When they were

:00:54.:00:58.

out, a quarter had nothing to do. The levels of assault for example

was. Last autumn a new management team and a new governor was brought

and budget cuts, is bound to create a less stable environment. What

people people with a want people toll leave prison much less likely

to offend than when they go in. If you have an environment like this,

with violence, self`harm, not much in the way of purposeful activity

:01:53.:01:56.

and a lot of lock`up, it's difficult to get that achieved. The prison

inspectors say they are disappointed, but expect to see

:02:02.:02:10.

improvements by their next visit. A Wiltshire man has died at a
