  11. HMP Doncaster sex offender rise 'to reduce violence'published at 16:16 British Summer Time 12 October 2017

    Hundreds of alleged or convicted sex offenders have been placed in a prison to tackle high levels of violence, a report has found.

    HMP Doncaster

    The Prison Officers Association said increasing the number of sex offenders in jails could help reduce violence because they largely had a less volatile temperament towards staff and other inmates compared to prisoners with non-sexual offences.

    At the time of the inspection in July the number of men on remand for, or convicted of sex offences had trebled to just over 300.

    The chief inspector of prisons, Peter Clarke, said this increase meant "in effect, this large cohort of men was being denied the opportunity to make progress".
