Bullingdon is absolutely disgusting my son got sent there he had no induction,no first phone call we didn’t even know where he was until an officer rang us the following day and lied to us saying he was his offender manager.their computer system said he was in for one thing but he was there for something completely different.the staff aren’t helpful,there’s no help for the inmates because staff can’t be bothered to help them . the place is rife with spice and other drugs all in all a disgusting establishment that should be closed down.

Hi my husband is in Bullingdon what day do they get there canteen sheets? How long does it take for transferred money to appear in your spends? When can you put calling credit on? Please can somebody help me me thanks

Hi has anybody have the email address at bullingdon prison.so i can email my brother please thankyou

Google email a prisioner, you need to sign up to the site, this will allow you to select the prison and input your brothers details. You will credit on to pay for the email but it’s a very easy site to use and provides a great service. Hope this helps

Hi I am just wondering if prisoners get the chance to have day release from prison tag etc given if needed as would like for a prisoner with not to much time left on his sentence to be able to come out and see his sister and baby nephew for the first time as they are from overseas also it’s a holy day for the prisoner soon how do I go about arranging this if it can be arranged thank you Catherine Parker

I am really not happy about the telephoning booking line to book a visit it took me 85 times to try one day and it was engaged all the time when I did get through and waited for 1/4 hour to get the message saying the booking line is now closed really up setting needs more telephone lines to book a visit no need for this at all

my son got sent there monday no reception visit which i thought was allowed he shut his hand in cell door was given ibupofen but screws refused to let him get from medical room wasnt given food on arrival fuming is an understatement sent money in for canteen but said it takes 24 hrs to clear and he has 50p for canteen next week so going to be 2 wks be for he can get canteen and they wonder while the jails are in up roar

Even though when you book online it states your visit is 2hr 10 minutes thus isn’t true. Visiting times are 2.15pm until 3.45pm. If you get a high booking number you won’t get your full visit. I was number 68 once & by the time I got to the visting hall I only had 40 minutes of the visit left.

My fiancé has recently been sent to bullingdon from another prison and I’m extremely unhappy what he has told me. He is on medication and it’s important he gets on time as if he don’t his leg will swell and it’s very painful and he told me he was left without his medication for hours and he asked for assistance and staff just left him. This is a disgrace, and he also told me that there is only 1 working shower and it’s not hot water. And it’s very dirty there. Considering this is a newish prison I’m disgusted the way hygiene is and how he is left without his medication. I wanted to write to you to let you know what is going on but I will be making a complaint to the prison Service

What number do I call to arrange a visit to bullingdon My son is in remand

HMP Bullingdon

prisonsonline

July 18, 2023

HMP Bullingdon is a prison located in the South Central region of England. With a capacity for 1114 inmates, HMP Bullingdon is what you’d call a local prison as well as a category C training jail. It houses adult men who’ve been convicted as well as those awaiting trial. Most of the lads are from nearby – coming in from the courts in Oxfordshire and Berkshire. But they get a good few from London too.

The original facilities consisted of 4 cell blocks arranged in a T-shape, with 3 wings branching off from a central office on each floor. Since then, 2 additional units have been built to expand the site. Though the layout has been copied in newer prisons across the country, Bullingdon stands as the original 30-year old prototype.

History Of HMP Bullingdon

HMP Bullingdon was constructed in the late 1980s and early 1990s, opening in February 1992. The original design consisted of 4 cell blocks arranged in a T-shape, with 3 wings branching off from a central office on each of the 3 floors. Each of these units could accommodate 190 prisoners, except for the Blackthorn unit holding 197. In April 1998, the Edgcott unit was added – an L-shaped quick-build structure with 2 wings and 2 floors, housing up to 181 inmates.

Extensive renovations are currently underway, including a refurbished reception area, a new unit, and auxiliary buildings. The prison was originally built with a uniform T-shaped layout for each cell block, housing around 190 prisoners per unit. Since then, additional units have expanded the capacity to over 1,000 inmates. Ongoing construction continues to upgrade facilities at the 30-year old HMP Bullingdon.

A Modern Day In Bullingdon Prison

HMP Bullingdon operates as both a local and training prison, managing a diverse mix of convicted prisoners, remand prisoners awaiting trial, and longer-term inmates needing substance abuse treatment or sex offender rehabilitation. Despite considerable organizational changes in recent years, this announced inspection found Bullingdon performing reasonably well across all measures of a healthy prison.

Overall, Bullingdon remains reasonably safe – new arrivals feel well treated, self-harm is low, segregation is satisfactory, and good substance abuse support exists. However, some areas need improvement like first night and induction processes being too informal, and insufficient responses to bullying. Use of force levels, though declining, are still high. We are concerned about inappropriate use of body belts to respond to threatened self-harm.

Most prisoners can participate in some purposeful activity, unlike at the previous inspection when time out of cell was over-reported. However, the quantity of education, work and training is insufficient to occupy prisoners most of the day. Some training is high quality but much is mundane without accreditation. Library and gym access are good.

Resettlement is well managed and offender management model work is advanced, although community offender managers are not fully engaged. OASys backlogs inhibit sentence planning and no custody planning exists for short stays. Reintegration services and an impressive range of rehabilitation programs are reasonable. Drug services are particularly good.

For a prison with a complex community role and recent organizational reforms, Bullingdon has risen commendably to many challenges. Naturally more progress is needed, but the sustained achievements during considerable pressure should not be obscured.

ACCOMODATION

Most accommodation is reasonably good, but shared cells are cramped with poorly screened toilets. Staff-prisoner relationships vary and would benefit from an improved personal officer program. Prisoners vociferously complain about the food. Support for foreign nationals and addressing diversity issues needs reinforcement. Healthcare facilities have outgrown their space.

Inspections

HMP Bullingdon underwent an inspection in October/November 2022 by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Prisons. The 30-year old facility located near Bicester holds just under 1,000 adult male inmates, many on remand or serving short sentences.

Despite staff shortages and a high turnover population, inspectors found the prison to be reasonably safe and respectful, consistent with the previous inspection in 2019. However, opportunities for rehabilitation and release planning were still lacking, and the provision of purposeful activities for prisoners was now deemed inadequate.

New arrivals received decent support and assessment, but this was not extended enough to prepare them for productive use of their time. With severe staff shortages, most prisoners were confined to their cells for up to 23 hours a day. Those with jobs still endured an insufficient regime. Ofsted gave the lowest rating of ‘inadequate’ for education, skills and work opportunities.

The aging infrastructure urgently requires investment and refurbishment. Prisoner consultation and peer support have improved, as has the promotion of equality. Healthcare was assessed as good overall. However, staff-prisoner relationships were hindered by the limited regime and low expectations.

Leaders acknowledged the challenges of high intensity operations with scarce resources. Some priorities need more focus, but good partnership initiatives are underway. The report outlines key concerns to assist leaders in improving the prison. The inspection team highlighted 12 key issues, 5 being top priorities requiring immediate action – chronic staff shortages, excessive time locked in cells, inappropriate education curriculum, lack of individual learning plans, and poor reading/literacy support.

Confidential Ex-inmate Reviews

I was at Bullingdon for 18 months and I’ve got to say it was one of the better prisons I’ve been in. The staff were pretty fair and treated you decent as long as you weren’t kicking off. I was in B-wing which wasn’t too noisy. The cells were basic but livable – typical prison cell with a bunk, toilet, and cabinet for your stuff. We got let out for exercise every day and I signed up for the gym which helped pass the time.

HMIP Inspection of Bullingdon

The prison was given an inspection in  October/November 2022, the full report can be read at the Ministry of Justice web site, just follow the links below. In their latest report the inspectors said:

HM Prison Bullingdon, a 30-year-old facility located near Bicester in Oxfordshire, currently operates as a reception prison, holding just under 1,000 adult men. Serving courts in the Thames Valley and other parts of central southern England, the prison has a large number of unconvicted or relatively short stay prisoners: 60 or more new prisoners arrive each week and nearly three-quarters of the population are there for less than six months. As with many prisons across England and Wales, Bullingdon has grappled with the difficulties of a much reduced and inexperienced staff group.

Despite these challenges, at this inspection we found a prison that remained reasonably safe and respectful, which was consistent with our previous inspection findings in 2019. Outcomes in rehabilitation and release planning remained unchanged and were still not sufficiently good, and we judged the provision of purposeful activity to have deteriorated, to the extent that outcomes for prisoners in this area were now poor.

With the operational challenge faced with such a transitory population it was reassuring to see that prisoners were received well by the prison and given a reasonable level of support and assessment after their arrival, although there was limited extension of these assessments to prepare them to make good use of their time in the prison. In our report we describe the institution as settled but subdued. There was some useful work to reduce violence, support those at risk of self-harm and ensure reasonable governance over interventions such use of force and use of segregation. Safety outcome measures were generally unremarkable, evidencing some encouraging trends, but fairly typical of similar and comparable prisons. There was, however, considerable lock down. Most prisoners were allowed out of their cell for as little as an hour a day, normally first thing in the morning. While we saw some mitigations, our random roll check found 58% of prisoners locked up during the main part of the working day. In general, the regime experienced even by those who had some employment was just not good enough. Our colleagues in Ofsted judged the overall effectiveness of education, skills and work to be ‘inadequate’, their lowest assessment.

As an institution, the prison was showing its age, with many facilities in need of investment and refurbishment. Outside areas were similarly uninspiring and far too many prisoners experienced overcrowded conditions. To the credit of leaders, work had begun to improve prisoner consultation and the deployment of peer support. There was renewed energy and investment to better support the promotion of equality, and outcomes in the provision of health care were good overall.

Staff-prisoner relationships, however, were mixed. Interactions were impeded by the limited regime, but we also observed a staff group with low expectations of, and not enough interest in, the prisoners in their charge. At the heart of this, and many other problems faced by the prison, was a chronic shortage of staff.

The prison was short of frontline staff on the wings and specialist staff in almost every department, including rehabilitative specialists, the chaplaincy, and the providers of regime activity. Leaders told us of initiatives to improve recruitment and retention among staff and work was being done to support staff well-being in an attempt to stem a high number of resignations. This work was undermined, however, by the lack of visible leadership and role modelling in frontline areas of the prison.

In the main, leaders held an honest assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the prison and were grappling with the twin challenges of a high intensity operation and a dearth of resources. Some of their priorities needed to be more focused and measurable, but we also saw some very good initiatives to support partnership working, as well as investment in important work strands. Our report lists several priorities and concerns which we hope will assist leaders to take the prison forward.

Charlie Taylor HM Chief Inspector of Prisons December 2022

The inspectors also provided a note of their key concerns

What needs to improve at HMP Bullingdon

During this inspection we identified 12 key concerns, of which five should be treated as priorities. Priority concerns are those that are most important to improving outcomes for prisoners. They require immediate attention by leaders and managers.

Leaders should make sure that all concerns identified here are addressed and that progress is tracked through a plan which sets out how and when the concerns will be resolved. The plan should be provided to HMI Prisons.

Priority concerns

• Staff shortages were debilitating and had a major impact on outcomes for prisoners.
• Prisoners spent too much time locked in their cells with little to do.
• Leaders and managers had not designed an appropriate education curriculum that met the needs of the prison population, especially vulnerable and non-sentenced prisoners.
• Leaders and managers did not identify the education, vocational training and commercial work starting points of individual prisoners. Prisoners did not engage in meaningful education and workplace activities, which had a detrimental impact on their attitudes to learning and attendance at their lessons and therefore their ability to progress.
• Leaders and managers had not ensured that all prison and education staff knew how they could support prisoners to become more interested in reading and develop their reading skills.

Key concerns

• Leaders and staff had low expectations about what prisoners could be trusted to do or achieve, and didn’t do enough to motivate prisoner engagement in purposeful activity.
• The use of force was not always proportionate, and some staff did not do enough to de-escalate incidents before using force.
• ACCT case management for prisoners at risk of harm did not always evidence targets and interventions that were tailored to their individual circumstances.
• Living conditions on the main A–D accommodation were poor.
• Prisoners had too little contact with their prison offender managers (POMs) and there were too few opportunities for prisoners to progress during their sentence.
• Public protection arrangements were not robust enough to assure leaders that risk was managed properly.
• Outcomes for remand prisoners were worse than convicted prisoners in key areas, including education, careers guidance and support for resettlement.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.
