The prisons selected are typical of Category B (Local)+ Category C prisons found in any regional Prison Group, or cluster, across England and Wales. They are a mix of high performing and significantly more challenged establishments such as Nottingham and Wormwood scrubs, and have the capacity to be part of the Project without detriment to their daily operations. They also all have specific challenges to overcome, including drugs-related ones, which enables them to be used as a template for the wider estate.
