The management of an open prison where Jeffrey Archer was held has been criticised in a new report from the Prison Inspectorate.

North Sea Camp, near Boston in Lincolnshire, has been accused of "coasting" following a surprise inspection in July.

The category D prison, which helps reintroduce offenders to society, was also told to focus more on the way prisoners are resettled and to improve its management structure.

The jail, which holds a number of life prisoners nearing the end of their sentence, is probably best known for holding disgraced novelist and politician Jeffrey Archer.

Jeffrey Archer was moved for breaching rules

Lord Archer was removed from North Sea Camp and sent to Lincoln Prison after breaching the prison's regulations.

The Prison Inspectorate report, published on Tuesday, said good work was being done there, but that there was room for improvement.

Managers at the jail said changes had already been made and added that the report would be acted upon.

Prison Governor Keith Beaumont said: "What this report says is we have to look at out future and be sure of where we are going.

"This is in some ways stating what we already knew. We are developing a new set of roles with the new accommodation and we have to be sure about the future."

The prison originally had space for around 200 but has since added a new resettlement wing.

Mr Beaumont added: "Open prisons are different to the rest of the service because we have people going out into the community.

"But with those privileges come responsibility and I think prisoners know if they ignore those responsibilities they will not benefit fully from the privileges."
