Hull is a Category B/C prison dating back to 1870, with capacity for over 1,000 adult men.
A follow-up independent review in April 2025 found leadership initiatives beginning to show results, even though the prison continued operating above capacity. Inspectors found violence relatively low compared with similar prisons, though self-harm was trending upward; drug trafficking, including by drone, remained an ongoing challenge, but better use of data and more frequent testing were starting to have an effect, with some early success in reducing drone deliveries. Education provision had also measurably improved.
This points to a prison making gradual progress; families may still want to ask about time out of cell and safety, alongside using the practical visiting and contact details above.
