'Urgent changes' needed at Wormwood
Updated on 18 November 2008
The prisons inspector called for "urgent" changes at one of the country's best-known jails.
Anne Owers found conditions at Wormwood Scrubs in west London had deteriorated since her last inspection. Her report revealed that one in five prisoners given mandatory drugs tests failed them.
Illegal drugs led to "gang activity" and "encouraged intimidation", she found. The prison was at the centre of a scandal over abuse of inmates by guards.
