The Prison Today
Spring Hill is a Category D open resettlement prison for male adults. Most of the prisoners held at Spring Hill are long-term inmates, transferred from other prisons for the last few years of their sentence.
HMP Spring Hill offers a range of employment and education courses. There are also two vocational learning centres (in Information Technology, and Bricklaying). The education department has links with local colleges, offering opportunities for prisoners to attend college outside the prison on a full or part-time basis.

“They are sworn enemies of lyric poetry.
In prison they accompany the jailer,
Enter cells to hear confessions.
Their short-end comes down
When you least expect it.”
