HM Prison Nottingham is a Category B men's prison, located in the Sherwood area of Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England. The prison is operated by Her Majesty's Prison Service. ==History== The history of the prison stretches back to 1890, when it opened as a city gaol. Rebuilt in 1912, it became a closed training establishment for adult males, a role it continued through 1997. Since then, it has received prisoners from the courts of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire as a category B local prison. In 1999, the Home Office announced that Nottingham Prison was to serve as a pilot project of a potentially national plan to track paedophiles and other high risk offenders after their release from their sentence by providing them housing in flats on prison sites. A dozen local residents staged protests in opposition. In October 2004, a voluntary drug testing scheme established at Nottingham Prison was "hailed as a success". Participants in the scheme underwent intensive drug therapy, with prisoners who remained drug-free offered the opportunity of early release from their sentences. In July 2004, the Independent Monitoring Board published a report which called for the worn-out Victorian wing of Nottingham Prison to be closed and urgently refurbished, as it "was becoming totally unsuitable for accommodating anybody - especially in winter when...(in the building could ) be as cold as 10°C". Soon after this the prison wing was closed down. In June 2008, it was announced that Nottingham would undergo major re-construction that would double the size of the prison. The £95 million facelift should see the condemned Victorian wing demolished and new accommodation and facilities built in its place. The project is expected to be completed in Summer 2010. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HM Prison Nottingham」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
