News
Welcome to the DSPD news page. This page will be updated regularly with any recent major events that have occurred throughout the entire DSPD programme.

HMP Whitemoor

The refurbishment and adaptation of one wing at Whitemoor Prison has been completed. The unit is open and delivering assessments and therapeutic intervention for prisoners. A full clinical treatment plan is being finalised, drawing on Cognitive-Interpersonal theory to guide formulation, decision making, clinical management and the therapeutic regime. An evaluation of the assessment process is taking place and will report by September 2004.

Broadmoor Hospital

Work to modify existing accommodation at Broadmoor Hospital to provide a 10-place unit was completed early in 2003 and this is now open.

In September 2003, work started on construction of a new purpose built 70 place DSPD unit due to complete in early 2005. The basis of the therapeutic programme will be cognitive-behavioural interventions focussing on risk, criminogenic need and responsivity.

HMP Frankland

Building work will be completed in early spring 2004 for 80 place new development. Prisoners will be housed in eight self-supporting units of ten.

The ground and first floors have been designed to allow each floor to work independently or interact, depending on their purpose. The two main living areas will be joined by a link building for activities that will support treatment (primarily cognitive-behavioural therapy), including education, occupational therapy, gymnasium and primary care medical facilities. The multi-disciplinary project team is currently developing regime and treatment programmes in readiness for their first prisoners.
