The government is to expand four prisons in a £200m programme taking place over the next three years, as part of a £2.5bn commitment to create 10,000 modern prison places.

HMPs Guys Marsh (Dorset), Rye Hill (Warwickshire) and Stocken (Rutland) will see the construction of additional houseblocks and High Down (Surrey) will get a new workshop.
