History
Lincoln opened as a local Prison in 1872 holding remand and convicted prisoners. The original 1869-1872 structures designed by Frederick Peck are now listed buildings and are notable examples of High Victorian gothic design. The prison accommodation has been altered and extended at various times in the twentieth century.
In October 2002 inmates set fire to parts of the jail and seized control of at least one section of the prison during a large riot at Lincoln. The disturbance started when when a guard was attacked by an inmate. A number of prisoners then jumped on the officer, assaulted him and dragged him into a cell and took his keys. It took police eight hours to bring the riot under control.
In March 2003 The Prison Reform Trust issued a report claiming that Lincoln Prison was unstable and suffering inconsistent leadership. The Trust also labelled Lincoln as the nation's most overcrowded prison, holding 13 inmates over its maximum capacity.
