HMP Cardiff is a Category ‘B’ Local/Training Prison, holding male adult prisoners who are drawn predominantly from the surrounding court catchment area in South East Wales.
The 3 Victorian wings have undergone a major refurbishment programme. The prison’s capacity was extended in 1996 by the commissioning of 3 new wings (C, D and E) and the number of life-sentenced prisoners has increased to 96.
