HMP Berwyn opening plan

The request was partially successful.

Dear National Offender Management Service,

In reference to the new Category C prison near Wrexham, HMP Berwyn, which news reports advise is planned to open in February 2017, I am requesting:

- any information relating to any proposed opening ceremony at the prison, including date and venue

- the proposed date on which prisoners will first be transferred to the prison

and

- any plan or forecast for the prisoner population over 2017, or a target date by which the prison will hold its maximum capacity of 2,106 prisoners.

Finally, I would be grateful if you could provide me with contact details for HMP Berwyn.

Yours faithfully,

Vanessa Rowan
