A report by HM Chief Inspector of Prisons Anne Owers in July 2003 said that H-wing at HMP Lindholme prison was "amongst the worst" in the country. An unannounced inspection in June 2004 revealed that the wing remained open despite calls for its urgent closure. Inspectors said the wing remains beset by intimidation, assaults and poor discipline, as well as drug and alcohol abuse.
