Our vision is to make the criminal justice system in Wales the fairest, and the most efficient it can be with anti-racism as a core value.

A career like no other.
You could be teaching prisoners new skills, supporting a young person or analysing the risk of offenders in the community.
It's an extraordinary job, done by someone like you

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

ALT A field of red poppies. There are a mixture of poppies in bloom, with some yet to flower. There are two poppies rising highest above the rest of the field that are at the centre of the picture. Above the flowers are the words: “We will remember them”.

🌿Sustainability is at the forefront of everything we do at @HMPPrescoed
We have recently opened a new work boot sterilising unit and have linked up with @HMPSwansea and @HMPCardiff to save on average £18 per pair of boots cleaning and sterilising old pairs to be used again🥾

🐮 We’re udderly inspired by Cilwgri Farm in @HMPPrescoed.
Prisoners are learning to use an advanced robotic system that allows cows to volunteer to be milked.
This approach provides prisoners with agricultural qualifications and better job prospects after release.
⚽️@HMPPrescoed Prisoners will play against a team of Staff members in a friendly football match on the 25th of April.
Events like this help to Improve staff and prisoner relationships and builds a safer environment for our men and staff alike.
