Constructed in 2009, the prison is a mix of new buildings and converted RAF accommodation and service buildings. It is a sex offender treatment centre, which prioritises offenders from the East of England. The prison delivers a number of offending behaviour programmes aimed to meet the needs of the establishment’s sex offender population.
