Strangeways: Early release prisoners say drugs and violence rife

Ryan Surplice, from Birmingham, was also released earlier after he was jailed for three years for burglary.

“I am happy to be out,” he told reporters.

“The wings in there are condemned, it is disgusting in that jail, there is water running black out of the taps, rats running around the wings.

“People are getting stabbed in the wings, no-one cares.”

He said he found about his early release about a month ago and was “buzzing when I heard, I was over the moon”.

“I don’t feel like I am going to use drugs anymore, I want to go find something nice to eat.”

An annual report by HM Chief Inspector of Prisons for England and Wales for the year 2023 to 2024 found a “surge in illicit drug use, self-harm and violence” in many prisons.

Ms Mahmood said the report “lays bare the stark reality in our prisons” and the early release of prisoners was a “temporary measure” taken to give the government time to build new prisons.
