Stripped to the core: personal thoughts on leaving prison - preview
Sylvia Boyes, of Craven and Keighley AM, describes her experiences in New Hall prison and questions whether strip-searching has a place in our prison system
Earlier this year I was sent to prison From 15 to 25 July I was on the Substance Misuse Unit in HMP New Hall, West Yorkshire, sent there for non-payment of fines resulting from various anti-nuclear actions It was nothing to do with drugs but everything to do with the misuse of dangerous substances – nuclear bombs
All new prisoners are put onto that wing but are usually then removed to another To be kept on that wing for eleven days was probably because the prison was full and I was in for a short sentence, but it did not make me happy
