HM Prison New Hall
HMP New Hall is a closed-category prison for female adults, juveniles, and young offenders. The prison is located in the village of Flockton (near Wakefield) in West Yorkshire, England. New Hall is operated by His Majesty's Prison Service. History In 1933, New Hall became the first prison to implement the then-experimental Open Prison system. This was seen as a potential method for dealing with the combined problems of the rising numbers of prisoners and the lack of proper employment for them. At first, the prison was populated by prisoners from HMP Wakefield who were soon due to be released, but in 1961 the prison became a Senior Detention Centre for male young offenders. It was during this time that, on some occasions, the ' short, sharp shock' regime was introduced. In 1987, the prison was assigned to serve a different population, and it was re-designated for a second time to become a women's prison. In 1999, the BBC programme ''Jailbirds'' was filmed at New Hall, with dir ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
