Dorset: Portland, Verne Prison, Change of Plan?




Controversial news: Exclusive from the Dorset Echo

"HMP The Verne is to be turned back in to a prison and will not become an immigration removal centre, the Echo understands.

Staff have been told that because of overcrowding in the prison system, plans to change the Portland facility have been put on hold, sources say.

It is understood that HMP The Verne was due to take its first detainees on Monday.

Millions of pounds have been spent on the re-role".
