HMP Dartmoor
(asked on 4th July 2025) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to reopen HMP Dartmoor, and if so when.
This question was answered on 14th July 2025
Dartmoor has been temporarily closed since August 2024 after radon monitoring results were higher than expected. We are working with specialist radon experts to investigate whether we can re-open the prison safely.
A decision on re-opening will be made based on the viability of the site, cost and efficiency of works to reduce levels of radon and value for the public purse.
The health and safety of prisoners and staff continues to be our top priority.
