Description

Introduction In 2008 the announcement was made that to address the 1800 estimated shortfall of prison places in Wales, a new medium sized prison would be built there. Subsequently four sites have been identified for such a prison--two in South Wales and two in North Wales. Possibly anticipating and rehearsing the debates that are likely to follow in respect of other proposed prison builds in the UK, local opinion has been divided in terms of the perceived desirability of a prison within both South and North Wales. In general however there has been resistance in South Wales to the idea of a new prison being built there, but in North Wales there has been significant support. In North Wales for example the Local Criminal justice Board held a conference in November 2007 at which leaders from all the main criminal justice agencies in that area, along with local Judges, magistrates and politicians called for a prison facility to be built in North Wales. The conference was widely reported and in generally positive terms in the local media. In South Wales on the other hand it is reported that Torfaen council vigorously oppose a prison at Cwmbran and an "Oppose the Prison Action Group" has already been formed.
