The complaints come after a prison inspection last year found a whole range of problems with conditions at Wandsworth - from broken benches to mouldy walls and cells in disrepair.One serving officer said: “It’s dirty, it’s gritty, you’ve got rats all over the place. The upkeep isn’t really there.”“I’ve never seen a cleaning team anywhere,” he added and confirmed inmates were used as cleaning staff.
And it’s not just the cleanliness of the living space that’s left the guard concerned but also how some of his colleagues are treating prisoners. The officer added: “There’s a place in the prison called The Seg where if a prisoner misbehaves or is acting violently they get taken down to The Seg where they are locked up practically 24/7.Ministry of Justice rules state inmates must have at least 30 minutes of outdoor exercise and socialising.“There are certain basic conditions which are a requirement of the law,” said human rights lawyer David Wagner.
