2.12 Those prisons which had two or less red indicators were classified as green and thus are performing relatively well compared to the other prisons in the study. Four PFI prisons came into this category (Parc, Altcourse, Lowdham Grange and Forest Bank). Parc was one of only three prisons which did not score any red indicators; the others were Swansea and Lancaster Farms. Altcourse was one of three prisons which scored only one red indicator; the other two were the two privately-managed prisons, Wolds and Doncaster. Of the six prisons with either one or less red indicators, four are managed by private sector contractors and five were built in the last ten years. Thus, six of the nine privately-managed prisons fell within the green category.
