HM Prison Exeter

(d.1797), the proprietor of Bicton at the time of his visit, had paid the sum of £1,000 to the Treasury to be released in perpetuity from his vestigial feudal liabilities.[13] On 8 July 2002, ex-inmate Gareth Connett broke into Exeter Prison and protested on the roof for four hours, demanding compensation for an alleged injury caused by another inmate.The report criticised the lack of meaningful activities at the prison, resulting in inmates spending too much time locked in their cells.[15] Exeter was highlighted again months later for its overcrowding by the Howard League for Penal Reform, who stated that the prison was running at 70% over capacity.[18] HMP Exeter accepts all male adults and young offenders committed to prison by the courts from Cornwall, Devon and West Somerset.Exeter also offers accredited training courses in education, computers, sports and vocational skills that link with local employer requirements.The prison was awarded 'across the board' Grade 2 accreditation by Ofsted in August 2013 for its Learning and Skills provision and continues to drive up the quality of their reducing reoffending services.
