HMP Grendon is a specialist prison providing therapy for prisoners with a confirmed personality disorder diagnosis. It is the only prison in the UK whose sole raison-d’être is therapy. In its latest annual report, the Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) for HMP Grendon highlights a range of problems centred around the prison’s inadequate infrastructure. However, it also reports that the prison has largely returned to its pre-Covid regime, with peer-reviews confirming that it continues to provide high quality therapeutic services.
