HMP Ashwell was a category C prison which was closed in 2011 after the prisoners rioted and trashed the place. I used to work for the prison service, so I know a bit about it. The prison wasn't really geared up for cat C prisoners, because its conditions were quasi-category D. Most of the prison was totally trashed, with the exception of the segregation unit. In the photos below, you can see inside the "safe" cell in the segregation unit.
We were lucky enough to be given a set of keys by Rutland County Council so we could shoot a few scenes for a film there. After the day's shoot, we explored the rest of the prison. These pictures show the devastation wrought during the riot.
Sorry, guys. Here are the photos. There are a few more on my Flickr account.
