Do porridge? No, lags get a top brekkie

- BY STEPHEN WHITE

A JAIL which serves up a full English breakfast to inmates every day has impressed inspectors.

Lags at HMP North Sea Camp, a 420-capacity open prison in Lincolnshi­re, tuck into sausages and bacon from pigs reared on the jail farm and free range eggs from its chickens.

Inmates grow fruit, veg and flowers as well as tending the livestock.

A report from the Independen­t Monitoring Board added: “The majority of food is home cooked. The lunchtime soups are very popular.”

A man who has worked in jails for 16 years, said the breakfasts were the “envy of all.” He added: “They are better than anything outside, everything is organic and grown or raised right there.”
