The 1,680 inmates at HMP Five Wells will have dedicated classrooms, workshops and grounds including football pitches

HMP Five Wells in Northamptonshire is the first jail in the UK to be built specifically as a ‘resettlement’ prison

The majority of inmates will be transferred to HMP Five Wells – which is the UK’s first purpose-built ‘resettlement’ prison – as they prepare for release. In 2018, it was reported that HMP Warren Hill in Suffolk was also using the residents term and describing cells as rooms.as the feature dated back to times when glass was either too fragile for the purpose or had not been used at all.Other changes at Five Wells include ditching the K-block shape in favour of staggered, cross-shaped buildings.

The counsellor said: ‘Having no bars on the windows and being able to have a view of the scenery outside is a great idea for the prisoners’ mental health and welfare. A spokesperson for G4S said: ‘As the UK’s first purpose-built resettlement prison, HMP Five Wells will foster a purposeful environment that aims to prepare its residents for their transition back into society. This means providing them with skills and qualifications so they have the best chance to secure employment and turn away from crime.
