At HMP Thameside we provide a safe, decent, secure and respectful environment that encapsulates a wide range of
constructive activities. The regime both combines and embraces work, education, vocational training, as well as
prisoner health and appropriate interventions where individual need is identified.
HMP Thameside is a Local category B establishment that can currently hold 900 convicted and remand male prisoners.
The prison has a baseline Certificate of Normal Accommodation (CNA) of 600, and an in use Operational Capacity (OP
CAP) of 900 which due to national population pressures will always be under review.
The primary purpose of HMP Thameside is to deliver a service through its contractual arrangements to meet the
National Offender Management Service (NOMS) objectives by:


Protecting the public in holding those committed by the courts in a safe, decent and healthy environment.
Reducing re-offending by providing constructive regimes that address offending behavior, improve prisoner
education and work skills, provide resettlement needs and promote law abiding behavior in custody and after
release.
Our Vision:
HMP Thameside's vision will be to provide the most productive and decent regime practicable within the contract. It
will work to achieve this through its professional staff and constructive relationships with prisoners, their families and
all other Criminal Justice agencies.
The Director, Assistant Directors, Managers and Staff at HMP Thameside will provide a safe, secure and respectful
environment that encapsulates a wide range of constructive activities. The regime will embrace work, education,
health, education and it will provide appropriate offending behavior courses. The staff will also do the best they can to
ensure those prisoners going back to society have robust resettlement opportunities through strong community links.
Accommodation:
The prison accommodation is built on a five spur radial design comprising 10 individual living units consisting of 600
cells. Offices and treatment rooms are also built in to the house block core. The building is the first in the world to be
awarded, “Outstanding” for BREEAM (an environmental assessment method). There are 10 cells that can cater for
prisoners with disability needs which are included in the 600 cells on the house block. In addition there are 18 cells in
the Healthcare In-Patient facility and 20 in the Care and Separation Unit, making a total of 638 cells. All cells are fitted
with showers, prisoner in-cell technology and telephones that prisoners can use to access the healthcare, education
and reception areas of the prison.
Reception Criteria:
HMP Thameside is built to Category B standards for adult male prisoners. It is local prison designed to hold up to 75 per
cent remand and 25 per cent sentenced prisoners. There is capacity to hold a small number of young adults on remand.

Independent Monitoring Board (IMB):
The Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) is a group of members of the public who volunteer their time to work in the
prison. They are totally independent (of the prison, of the Ministry of Justice, of prisoners, of lobby groups of any
kind). Their role is to monitor all aspects of the prison's work and, in particular, the humanity and fairness with which
prisoners are treated and how well they are prepared for their eventual release. In order to achieve this, IMB members
are given unrestricted access to all areas of the prison and the prison's records, and to all prisoners.
One or more IMB members visits the prison every week, and prisoners can apply to see them (confidentially, if
necessary). This may be to ask for help resolving issues which they feel have not been dealt with satisfactorily by prison
staff, or simply to talk about an aspect of prison life they want to highlight. In addition, Board members may attend
meetings (including Adjudications and Reviews), as observers, and they are called in to observe any serious incidents
which occur within the prison.
The Board writes an Annual Report on its work for the Minister for Prisons, and would report to them at any other time
if it had serious concerns about an aspect of the prison's performance. The Annual Report is a public document,
available to be downloaded from the IMB website.

Offender Management
Included in our bid we have committed to working with our partner agencies, Catch-22 and Turning Point with regards
to delivering and effective and relevant Offender Management Service. All delivery will be underpinned by the

Catch-22 will offer several courses including a Fathers Project. This will aim to enhance peoples skills around working
with young children, it will cover specific first aid issues, look to improve knowledge and awareness around child health
and progression and more practical elements such as nappy changing and feeding babies. Other courses available will
be Safer Communities and Behaviour Management.
Turning Point work alongside Serco, CareUK, Catch-22, KCC & Prospects in helping offenders recognise and challenge a
whole range of issues around Drug and Alcohol misuse. Encouraging recognition and personal responsibility and
promoting the concept that “recovery is possible” can start whilst at HMP Thameside.
We look at the whole person and have designed a range of interventions that lead to real and meaningful life changing
outcomes. We have established links with our community partners to ensure the work we do is realistic and reflects the
needs and resources of the communities our offenders will be released to.
Prospects – National Careers Service
Many prisoners may need help with their career, finding or changing their job and improving their skills. A National
Careers Service (NCS) adviser offers careers and skills advice to help improve job prospects. They also offer support and
motivation through workshops to help offenders plan their future by linking their personal interests and skills to a job or
career.
NCS advisers will set up a face to face advice session to help men identify their pre and post release work, training or
employment aspirations and develop their own personal action plan with the steps they need to take to achieve their
goals. They will keep in touch with offenders in custody offering support and encouragement to help them stay on the
right track. NCS advisers will work with other providers and specialist agencies in custody and in the community to help
men prepare for release and through the gates.
