Help us stop higher risk prisoners coming to Ford

Ford Prison's appalling record for security, coupled with plans to bring in up to 720 category C prisoners, has fuelled fears that surrounding commnities will be at risk if higher-risk prisoners are transferred to Ford.

Ford Parish Council chairman Ron Field has described the proposals as "absolute madness".

He said there was little confidence that a Category C prison could be properly managed at Ford.
