Lickszz   10 #1 Posted April 1, 2003 I didn't catch the whole story but I am sure I heard a mention of a Sheffield Prision on the radio. It mentioned NCPM and midland station also...as if it was going to be somewhere around here.  Can anyone verify this? please tell me I was dreaming....  Does anyone have the full facts?

Amanda   10 #2 Posted April 2, 2003 Hi, I'm a student journalist at the university. I've been looking at the possibility of a Sheffield prison today, and so far I've found nothing which would suggest there will be one here. I've spoken to the home office, and other sources about it, and it seems that Sheffield is a possible consideration in the distant future. How much of one I am not sure yet. I would love to find out more, but I need to know which radio station you were listening to when you heard it? I will let you know if I find anything else.

mikey   10 #3 Posted April 2, 2003 There is one at Doncaster recently opened. There is a remand home in Sheffield at Dore. Maybe one of these???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Andy   10 #4 Posted April 2, 2003 Possibly an urban myth, but I heard they planned to turn Meadowhell into a jail, if the Shopping Centre didn't make any money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Andy   10 #6 Posted April 2, 2003 Is it possible it was an April Fools joke on the wireless? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Unfortunately I had to switch off so never heard anything else on the matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

DaBouncer   13 #9 Posted June 25, 2003 I certainly hope that a Sheffield Prison NEVER EVER comes to fruition. What a disaster for the city that would be!  We've already got a maximum security prsion at Wakefield (40min by train) and 3 prisons in Doncaster. I'm sure we don't need one here too!  Sorry to reopen an old thread folks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Steptoad   12 #11 Posted January 29, 2015 I've not heard anything about a prison. Where is it?  Maybe it will be the Doncaster Sheffield Prison. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
