HMP Bronzefield is a closed local prison and is the largest female prison in UK and Europe. We focus on delivering high‑quality, needs‑led services that support women to make positive and lasting changes. Our programmes promote rehabilitation and well‑being, and we care for around 14.5% of the national female prison population, including mothers with babies, young offenders, women on a range of sentence lengths, foreign nationals and those on remand. The prison includes multiple residential units, a healthcare centre, gym, library, workshops, visits hall, chaplaincy and kitchen.

By living these hallmarks each day, you help build routines, rituals and behaviours that show what good looks like. You recognise and encourage the right actions, and you lead with intention - knowing every moment of connection counts.
