ABOUT HMP FULL SUTTON

HMP Full Sutton, is a modern, purpose-built high security category A prison. Opened in 1987 and situated about 11 miles east of the City of York. It has a population of approximately 630, serving more than 4 years; 60% of the inmates are serving life sentences. The population is split with 60% Vulnerable Prisoners and 40% mainstream inmates.

The Vulnerable Prisoners and Mainstream population do not mix. With longer sentences and a more stable population, learners are engaged with education. Education is Monday – Thursday AM for Mainstream Prisoners and Monday - Thursday PM for Vulnerable Prisoners (VP’s).

The education hours for the men are Monday to Thursday 08.30am – 11.30am and 2.00pm – 4.30pm – Learners do not stay in college for lunch, they all return to their designated wing after their allocated session.

Staff are on site from approx. 08.00am – 5.00pm Monday to Thursday, with 45-minute lunch, staying on site once the men have gone back to the wings for prep/admin time between 4.30pm – 5.00pm. The regime hours are slightly longer than other prisons due to the fact they do not run education on a Friday, staff do work a half day on Friday, on-site for prep/admin between 08:00-12:00.
