ABOUT HMP ROCHESTER
HMP Rochester is a Category C prison, holding approximately 950 adult male sentenced offenders across two sites. The main site of HMP Rochester is located on the site of the eponymous “borstal” and many of the original structures and buildings remain, including the recognisable clock tower and gate lodge. The prison has undergone numerous extensions over the years, making it one of the larger prisons in the area, with sprawling grounds and a wide range of facilities.
HMP Rochester’s focus is firmly fixed on reducing reoffending and preparing offenders for their release through accredited intervention programmes, skill and vocational-based training and education, in a pro-social environment. Both sites offer a multitude of opportunities for offenders to engage in purposeful activity across many areas.
Courses at HMP Rochester include Maths, English, IT, catering, art, mentoring and training, construction skills and much more. Prisoners are supported to gain qualifications and to develop the skills and knowledge that prepare them for a productive, crime-free life outside the establishment.
HMP Rochester is undergoing an exciting period of expansion which has created additional roles within this dynamic and innovative team.
