DIRECTOR'S WELCOME
 
Welcome to the HMP Rye Hill Website
Here at HMP Rye Hill we pride ourselves on making the difference to all we come into contact with.

As you progress through the website I hope we give you a flavour of not only what prison life is like but more particularly what life is like for staff and prisoners within HMP Rye Hill.

We aim to rapidly develop our prison into one of the best Category B Training prisons in the UK.

Whilst security is always paramount within a prison, challenging offending behaviour is pivotal to our success. Through integrated prisoner management systems prisoners start to work towards their successful planned release from the moment they enter the prison.

Everyone, both staff and prisoners alike are treated with respect and are expected to offer respect in return.

Our prison staff are highly trained in the necessary skills required to operate a modern prison.

Management are clear on leadership and direction and are highly visible in their support of staff.

The Independent Monitoring Board report published in April 2002 said:

The Board would endorse the comments of the Director General, Martin Narey, who visited the prison a week after our reporting period ended:
"...This must have been as satisfactory a commissioning of a prison as we have experienced and Rye Hill holds the prospect of becoming a very fine establishment indeed."

This Website provides a brief insight into how we will be working hard to achieve our potential and hopefully go on to inform penal policy of the future.

Everyone within HMP Rye Hill has an equal part to play to ensure our success and they are expected to play it, without exception. Our unambiguous motto encapsulates all we believe and the way in which we work.

Working together…………………
 
 
…………………making the difference.
