Squalid & dangerous court cells in Surrey and Sussex

Available for over a year

Conditions at cells in courts in England and Wales are an "accident waiting to happen", a report has said. Prison inspectors found "squalid" cells covered in sexist and racist graffiti including swastikas, and a "dangerous" disregard for risks posed by detainees. It comes after two people, a detainee and a custody officer, died in court buildings this year. The Courts and Tribunals Service said it was carrying out a "deep clean" of court cell and improving procedures.
