HMP Onley Action

About 30 people occupied the construction site of the new HMP Onley on 30 May. Cranes and other machinery were sat on, offices were occupied and work came to a standstill for an afternoon. Police were very late to arrive, and protestors had ample time to leave with no arrests.

Onley is one of 3 new prisons under construction in the UK. Group 4 and Carillon, formerly the construction arm of Tarmac, (who built Cookham Woods kids' Prison) are building it next door to a secure training centre and a young offenders institute, both of which house young people.
