SPORTS FACILITIES

Here at HMP Wolds our aim is to make a major contribution to the regimes of the prison by providing professional, purposeful and constructive physical education, which will prepare prisoners for reintegration into the community and contribute towards developing the employability of prisoners upon release.

We provide opportunities for personal development and contribute towards developing employability of prisoners upon release through nationally accredited awards.
