Bedbug Crisis at Fosse Way Prison

HMP Fosse Way is facing a full-blown bedbug crisis, with inmates reporting beds covered in blood from bites, infestations spreading across cells and even the canteen, and some without beds at all. The problem, allegedly worsening since last year, is causing severe physical pain and mental anguish, with one inmate’s wife describing his emotional breakdown after never having seen bedbugs before. Despite being a newer facility, it’s now grappling with this issue worse than older prisons. Serco, the operator, is deploying heat treatments and insecticides while healthcare teams step in to support affected inmates — but the mental and physical toll on prisoners remains devastating.
