In days gone by it was the accepted practise that police officers and bank officials were not allowed to work in their home town in case they showed favouritism or knew too much about the dealings of their friends and neighbours. Those days are long gone now thank goodness. I don’t see what problem there would be with prison officers.
Prisons across the country are due for planned closure. Staff will follow the transferred inmates. Staff ie prison officers rarely live on the doorstep of the prison in which they work, for obvious reasons. Figure it out!
The vast majority of the closures already happened in Dec 2013. Unless the staff are going to sit on their hands for another two years they will mostly either have already redeployed to other prisons not closing or found new jobs. Some might come to Wrexham, sure; but not all of em.
I don’t think you are a dingbat, again only going by my own experience of living in a city (Winchester) with a large category A prison, lots of the staff working there lived in and around Winchester.
It’s not like being police officer who used to be advised not to live in the same town in which they worked. I think a lot of people are having a real knee jerk reaction to the thought of having a prison here and typically only seeing the negative.
HMP Winchester is a small category B prison with a population of 544, tiny in comparison to the Super prison ;)

Check the key phrases in the article, my metallic friend.
‘Criminal Ingenuity’, ‘Criminal Inventiveness’, ‘Deviousness’, these are the sole preserve of WCBC and are jealously guarded, we may, therefore, sleep safely.
