HMP and YOI Swinfen Hall now has an operational capacity of 620, and holds male long term young adults serving 4 years and up to life. A major building project began in spring 2004 following significant investment in the prison, to expand and develop existing accommodation and facilities for prisoners.

The work at Swinfen Hall is at the heart of the government's overall delivery plan for reducing reoffending. At Swinfen Hall individual needs are identified early and through an active and integrated regime of education skills training and the specialised accredited offending behaviour and substance abuse courses we address needs and reduce risks. Working together with national corporations, local businesses, voluntary organisations, the Learning and Skills Council, education providers and others, contributes to the success of the training and development needs for prisoners at Swinfen Hall and prepare them for a crime free life on release.
