An unannounced inspection of HMP Preston has found living conditions continue to be poor for many of the 680 men there
.The inspection by HM Inspectorate of Prisons took place between 7 and 23 March this year.
Issues included too many shared small cells designed for one with inadequately screened toilets, and a large rat population. Activity was deemed to be much better than most other reception prisons. Most men spent far longer out of their cells and were allocated to appropriate education, work or training.
