A major redevelopment project for Rutland County Council, for which we are most grateful.
The former HMP Ashwell site being formally closed in March 2011, was a 600 capacity Category C prison for over 20 years.
It was first opened in 1955 as an open prison, having previously been an army base during World War II, used by the 82 Airborne Division as a parachute jump school.
