HMP Eastwood Park has the highest self-harm rate of women's prisons in England and Wales, says a report.
A prison in South Gloucestershire has the highest rate of self-harm of all women's jails across England and Wales.
Inspectors found that some situations were de-escalated by staff, but the number of times force was used to manage women in crisis was high, particularly when women self-harm or threaten to self-harm. Over the last eight months, inspectors recorded 22 instances where force was used to strip women of all their clothing to replace it with anti-rip garments designed with material that would reduce the likelihood of making ligatures.
Many women described feelings of frustration because of difficulties in getting very basic requests dealt with, which resulted in self-harm.
