PREMIER PRISON SERVICES CONTRACT AT DONCASTER PRISON

That this House finds a consistency between the reports of widespread control of the prison by inmates, drug use and gang-style violence within Doncaster Prison run by the Union States' company Premier Prison Services and reply given to the honourable Member for Morley and Leeds South by the Director of Prison Services on 8th December stating that 'since the prison opened on 20th June this year two prisoners held there have died and 11 have suffered severe injuries which required immediate transfer to hospital'; calls for a public inquiry into the running of this prison and the termintion of the contract with Premier Prison Services; believes that the six months record they have at Doncaster Prison demonstrates the irresponsibility of the Home Secretary's craze to privatise prison management; and believes that no further such private contracts should be let until this inquiry has reported.
