MP warns 'unsafe' prisons are ‘haemorrhaging experience’ Grahame Morris MP is right. The prison service is losing far too many experienced staff members. We urgently need action to address the overcrowding, understaffing and prison violence that is driving experienced officers out of the service. thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/2…

Fewer experienced officers and resignations make North East prisons' unsafe' MP warns

Prisons are “haemorrhaging experience”, with officer expertise at a 15-year low and rising jail violence prompting urgent safety warnings from MPs and unions.

Enough is enough @UKLabour deliver on your promises and let’s see the biggest insourcing in a generation. Scrap that contract with CAPITA and bring it back in house !

A retired prison officer waiting for his pension since July was told by Capita he needed more patience and then that they’d lost his details! @POAnatchair @POAUnion tells the meeting in Parliament
