Following the report of the Zahid Mubarek inquiry, all new cells were fitted with fixed furniture.

HM Prison and Young Offender Institution Berwyn has been designed to hold prisoners securely in uncrowded accommodation. Therefore, Berwyn accommodates its population across a mix of single and double occupancy cells.

All prisoners on arrival are risk assessed for their suitability to share a cell and allocated accordingly.
