Inspections A November 2013 inspection of HMYOI Brinsford found that the situation at the institution had not improved since the previous inspection in 2012. The Chief Inspector of Prisons stated that Brinsford had "the worst overall findings my inspectorate has identified in a single prison during my tenure as Chief Inspector". The report found that the prison failed at inducting new inmates to the regime, that the level of violence was "too high", that a quarter of inmates surveyed said that it was easy to get drugs into prison. The report also found that many cells were "squalid" in condition and that communal areas were "dirty and in need of refurbishment". The inspectorate found that just under a third of the inmates were not engaged with either work or education programmes. Overall, they found that the institution required "significant improvement" and that while staff were aware of the problems raised, they were "overwhelmed" and unable to improve the situation.
