Welcome to HMP Forest BankAt HMP Forest Bank, we aim to ‘change lives for the better’ by operating a safe, decent, and secure prison and by creating a respectful place to live and work, dedicated to improving the quality of life for all our prisoners. We strive to be highly effective in the delivery of our core tasks - safely inducting people into prison and working to establish supportive and influential relationships between staff and prisoners. From ground-breaking partnerships providing purposeful activity, employment, and education, to rehabilitation services and resettlement support, the prison is a dynamic and forward-thinking men’s prison which accommodates a diverse and complex population. Our vision is one of a first-class reception prison serving the courts and community of Greater Manchester and we consider it our duty and mission to contribute to a safer city.
HMP Forest Bank has launched a Safer Custody Portal where families and loved ones can contact the prison with a non-urgent concern about someone in our care.
