Britain's Best Prison Plunges into Chaos: 17 Inmates Die in Year Following G4S Takeover
- Wednesday, 23 April 2025
HMP Parc in Bridgend, South Wales, a prison once praised for being safe and well-run, has declined into a drug-infested nightmare where 17 inmates died in a year. The descent began after G4S took over the contract to operate and maintain the prison in 2022, resulting in a severe influx of drugs bought in by drones through open windows. The report highlights that 57% of prisoners said it was easy to source illegal drugs and 34% reported developing a drug or alcohol problem since arriving.
