Summary 18 HMP Doncaster
Section 1. Safety Section 1. Safety Courts, escorts and transfers Expected outcomes: Prisoners transferring to and from the prison are treated safely, decently and efficiently. 1.1 Prisoners waited for too long in court cells before they were returned to the prison. 1.2 Escort vehicles were clean but prisoners complained of long journeys with insufficient food and toilet stops. They also reported long waits in court cells before being transported to the prison. It was common for prisoners attending court appearances to leave the reception at 7.30am and not be returned until the end of the court's last scheduled hearing at the end of the day. We saw prisoners who had left the prison early in the morning to attend court still waiting in reception at 8pm to return to their house blocks. Recommendation 1.3 Prisoners should not have long waits at court. Early days in custody Expected outcomes: Prisoners are treated with respect and feel safe on their arrival into prison and for the first few days in custody. Prisoners’ individual needs are identified and addressed, and they feel supported on their first night. During a prisoner’s induction he/she is made aware of the prison routines, how to access available services and how to cope with imprisonment. 1.4 New arrivals had complex needs. Reception staff were welcoming, but prisoners waited too long in reception. Risk assessments were not carried out in private. The reception 'Buddy' scheme provided good support. We were not assured that all new arrivals were managed safely on their first night. Induction was adequate. 1.5 In our survey, more prisoners than the comparator and than at the last inspection said they had mental health problems on arrival, and more than at the last inspection said they felt depressed or suicidal when they arrived. Despite this, the risk assessment of new arrivals had not improved since the last inspection, and reception staff still interviewed prisoners at an open counter without adequate privacy. Information required to inform the cell sharing risk assessments was not always accessible to reception staff, and too few staff were trained to access the computer systems where individual risk information was stored. Prisoners were often allocated a single cell on the first night unit as a result of incomplete risk assessments. (See main recommendation S38.) HMP Doncaster 19
