HM Prison Blantyre House
HM Prison Blantyre House is a Category C/D resettlement prison for men, located on the outskirts of Goudhurst in Kent, England. The prison is operated by Her Majesty's Prison Service.
==History==
Originally a country house, the Prison Service converted the building into a Young Offenders Institution in 1954. The prison was then re-classified as an adult prison in 1991. Blantyre House courted controversy in 1996 after an ex-inmate accused the prison regime of corruption.〔http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-61153552.html〕 This followed an incident that resulted in the death of a grandmother when two prisoners caused a multiple-vehicle traffic accident during a 100 mph chase while out on day release.〔http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-61333140.html〕
In 2000 a large raid (named ''Operation Swinford'') at Blantyre House caused controversy amongst the press and politicians. Prison authorities claimed the raid was needed to expose potential deep-routed corruption at the prison. The Prison Service claimed that investigations stretched back to the original allegations in 1996, and involved notorious underworld boss Kenny Noye allegedly placing a prisoner at Blantyre House as part of a fraud plot. The following year Blantyre House was singled out as having the best community relations of any prison in the UK along with one of the lowest re-offending rates.
The management at Blantyre House was amalgamated with HMP East Sutton Park in 2007. In the same year the Home Office announced plans to expand the prison by building a new block which could double capacity at Blantyre House when built.
