HMP Wymott is a prison for men in Leyland Lancashire.
It routinely houses sex offenders and is next to HMP Garth.
The prison works in partnership with Leyland Trucks in training prisoners in key skills in preparation for possible employment such as interview techniques, CV preparation, and aptitude and personality questionnaires.
It also has a 70-place therapeutic community, which operates independently of the prison itself and aims to help inmates remain drug-free after their release.
