Report - HMP Glen Parva juvenile's prison. Feb 2018

[Going deeper underground]

History
HM Prison Glen Parva was a male juvenile's prison and Young offenders institution, located in Glen Parva, Leicestershire, England. Glen Parva was operated by Her Majesty’s Prison Service.

Glen Parva was constructed on the site of the former Glen Parva Barracks in the early 1970s as a borstal and has always held young offenders. Since its opening in 1974 the establishment has seen considerable expansion and change and now serves a catchment area of over 100 courts, holding a mixture of sentenced, unsentenced, and remand prisoners.

The prison closed in June 2017, following an announcement at the end of 2016 that it would be replaced with a newly built category C adult prison. It will be completely demolished and redeveloped with a new built prison on the site.

The Explore
Ive been eying this one up ever since it was announced it would be closing... decided to hit it this month before it was to late and it was pulled down... security on site made for a good fun mooch. The site its self is huge and we only explored maybe 5% of the place but i saw what we wanted to see. hope you enjoy the photos....
