FIRE SAFETY FAILURES AT HMP EASTWOOD PARK

Despite multiple rounds of funding being allocated to improve fire safety, key changes still have not been completed — including the relocation of fire alarms from outside to inside prisoner cells.

There remains little clarity from inside the prison about when these upgrades will actually be finished. This ongoing delay is especially concerning in light of the 2022 death of Clare Dupree, which was examined in an inquest.

According to the inquest report and earlier inspections dating back to 2015, the installation of automatic fire detection (AFD) systems in cells was recommended, yet these measures were still not in place more than seven years later.

Quotes from Justin Ashburn of the Crown Premises Fire Safety Inspectorate (CPFSI) highlight that he would “want to see” AFD systems in cells and expressed frustration that publicly owned prisons benefit from Crown immunity, meaning they cannot be prosecuted for fire safety failings in the same way as other premises.

There are also broader concerns raised in reporting and inquest findings about whether sufficient mental health support and specialist care were in place, despite additional funding being allocated for “critical care” provision.

At the heart of this issue is accountability: when funding is allocated for safety and care improvements, there is a clear expectation that changes are delivered — and delivered in time.

This remains a matter of ongoing public concern following repeated recommendations over many years.
