Committee questions why contractor was given another two years despite concerns over its performance
Ministers and officials are coming under increasing pressure from MPs to explain why a private firm was granted a two-year extension to run a youth jail despite long-term concerns about its performance, a year before the facility was in effect shut down.
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) announced last week that all children at Rainsbrook secure training centre are to be removed after the US-based contractor MTC failed to address problems raised by inspectors and by the justice secretary, Robert Buckland.
