💨 Abstract

HMP Wandsworth, a historic London prison, has faced recent scandals, including the accidental release of two inmates and a viral video of a guard having sex with a prisoner. Known for high-profile escapes (like Ronnie Biggs in 1965) and overcrowding, the prison has been criticized for poor conditions, drug smuggling via drones, and high self-harm rates. Despite its grim reputation, it sits in an affluent area with high property prices.
