The £300m project will provide 741 new category C prison places in three four-storey houseblocks as the Government targets 14,000 more prison places by 2031.

The project will also include apprenticeships, jobs for prison leavers, training and upskilling of prisoners.
Embracing modern methods of construction, the project uses standardised designs to work smarter—reducing carbon emissions, speeding up delivery, and ensuring the new wings meet the highest standards of quality, security, and efficiency. The project is targeting a 10% Biodiversity Net Gain.
Other key stakeholders in the project are Mace, Pick Everard, Baker Hicks, Gleeds and Prism Offsite Manufacturing. Trade contractors include Moortown, Gallagher, Trident Electrical, Munnelley, Green Shield and HSH.
The new prison wings are due to be completed in Summer 2027, with prisoners moving in shortly afterwards.
