The Anglican Bishop of Chester in England has called for more creative experiments in prisons.The Rt Rev Peter Forster praised the example of Grendon Underwood in Buckinghamshire during a discussion of prisons in the House of Lords.
He asked justice minister Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: “Does he agree that the problems that have regularly recurred in young offender institutions and similar establishments point to the need for creative experiments on different methods and approaches to those who are detained in such establishments?”
Lord Hunt replied: “Yes, I think that we need to be innovative. I also pay tribute to young offender institutions and secure children’s homes, and indeed to the other three secure training centres, all of which have recently received ratings of at least ‘good’ from Ofsted.”
