The prison has five main wings plus a number of smaller dedicated units. Wormwood Scrubs is a Category B prison for adult males, sentenced or on remand from the local courts. On 10 March 2009 the prison was listed as a Grade II building, principally because of its distinctive gatehouse. Heightened prison gang activity had been detected, and 20% of prisoners had failed drugs tests. In November 2008, another report from Her Majesty's Chief Inspector stated that conditions at Wormwood Scrubs Prison had deteriorated since the last inspection. However the report also stated that inmates spent too much time in their cells, and only 36% of eligible inmates were involved in education or prison work. Three quarters of inmates at the prison had said that staff treated them with respect, which was better than the national average. In March 2004, a further report from the Chief inspector stated that Wormwood Scrubs had greatly improved after making fundamental changes. Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Prisons delivered a damning report on the conditions and regime in which the prison was told to improve or close. The Prison Service paid over £3 million in out-of-court settlements with ex-prisoners who had alleged brutality. In the 1990s, a police investigation into allegations of staff brutality resulted in the suspension of 27 prison officers and the conviction of six for assault (three later won appeals against conviction). He had described Wormwood Scrubs as a "penal dustbin" in a letter to The Times. The governor, John McCarthy, had quit before the rioting. In 1982, an inquiry blamed much of the difficulties on failings in prison management. 60 inmates and several prison officers were injured. In 1979 there was a rooftop protest over visiting rights staged by IRA prisoners. It was used as secure office space for the duration of hostilities and housed MI5 and MI8. Construction was completed in 1891.ĭuring World War II the prison was taken over by the War Department and the prisoners evacuated. By the summer of 1875 enough bricks had been prepared to build the prison's first block, whose ground floor was finished as winter began. Building then began on the permanent prison, with bricks being manufactured on site. Nine specially picked prisoners, all within a year of release, completed the buildings after which 50 more prisoners were brought in who in turn erected a second temporary prison wing. The initial steps in the winter of 1874 involved the construction of a small prison made of corrugated iron and a temporary shed to serve as a barracks for the warders. Du Cane was also the architect of the prison. The idea of doing so was originated in 1874 by General Sir Edmund du Cane of the Royal Engineers, and at that time the head of the Prison Department, who had been inspired by the construction of Sing Sing prison in the US. Wormwood Scrubs Prison was constructed completely using convict labour. The prison is operated by Her Majesty's Prison Service. HM Prison Wormwood Scrubs (informally, ' The Scrubs') is a Category B men's prison, located in the Wormwood Scrubs area of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, in inner west London, England.
