💨 Abstract

HMP Wandsworth, a troubled London prison, is under investigation after an inmate posted a video of a smuggled takeaway meal on TikTok. This incident follows recent security breaches, including the mistaken release of two prisoners. A scathing 2024 report described Wandsworth as "not safe," highlighting high rates of self-harm, violence, and drug use. The prison also faces issues with overcrowding and inadequate staff accountability.
