HMP Lindholme is located on the site of a former Royal Air Force (RAF) base, approximately 10 miles north of Doncaster. It covers an area of 100 acres within the perimeter fence and was opened as a prison in 1985. During 2011/12 the operation of the prison was put out to tender to the private sector, but it was eventually decided in 2013 to keep the prison under public control. The #1 governor since February 2021 has been Rob Kellett and the prison has a capacity of 924. It is part of the Yorkshire & Humberside region and is run by HMPS.
