Styal (HM Prison)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Styal Prison is a women's prison in Wilmslow, Cheshire, England. It was built as an orphanage in 1890s. In 1956 this closed and the site re-opened as a women's prison in 1962, with women transferred from Strangeways. It holds 459 prisoners, 80% of which arrive with multiple drug problems.
135 of the prisoners are housed on Waite Wing. There is a 10 bed segregation unit and a 20 bed first night centre.
Other prisoners are held on smaller units, (the 'houses')
Regimes include offending behaviour programmes, farms and gardens, mental health work, textiles and reprographics. [1]
