HMP Prescoed is a category D men’s open prison located in Coed-y-Paen, Monmouthshire, Wales.
At HMP Prescoed, we deliver pre-release housing interventions through our Camau accommodation service. We work with men on probation who are homeless or are at risk of homelessness to progress through their housing journey and take steps towards stable accommodation.
Canol Service - now delivered from within HMP Prescoed
The Canol Service is an integrated substance use and wellbeing support service delivered across the Cardiff and Vale prisons estate (HMP Cardiff, HMP Usk, HMP Prescoed). Working in partnership with G4S Community and Dr PA, The Forward Trust provides trauma-informed psychosocial support to men in custody, helping individuals access recovery, wellbeing and through-the-gate support throughout their custodial journey.
The service offers structured interventions, group work, workshops, wellbeing support and continuity of care, placing the individual at the centre of their recovery and helping them build healthier, more positive futures both in prison and beyond
