Phil Stanbridge worked at Belmarsh High Security Men’s Prison and brought forward his retirement after he felt like his job was getting too dangerous. He claims a drop in prison officers means standards have dropped. Figures from the Ministry of Justice show that in the last year there was a leaving rate of over fifteen percent for officers in bands 3-5, which is rank and file prison offices up to Custodial Managers, in England and Wales. A MoJ spokesperson says 5,000 prison officers will be hired by the mid-2020s and pay has been boosted.
