3.19 In some areas, Directors of PFI prisons have taken a lead role in area-wide initiatives. For example, an area drug programme in East Midlands (North) was moved to Lowdham Grange and the contractor converted a workshop to accommodate this. HMCIP also noted that Parc had worked closely with another prison in Wales, HMP Usk, to adopt a programme designed by the Probation Service for sex offenders who are in denial and unsuitable for conventional treatment programmes. Staff from private prisons have also been called to major incidents at public prisons and have worked alongside Prison Service staff. These arrangements have been reciprocated when there have been incidents at private prisons.
