Prisoners will be invited to display their artwork on the walls of the new building.
Prison Governor Susie Richardson said: “We’re delighted to welcome Dame Anne to Jersey to help us mark this important step forward in modernising the prison. We’re committed to improve the living conditions of prisoners to reduce the risk of institutionalisation, which improves their outcomes on release.”

She continued: “We’ve made huge progress with the modernisation project and have two final phases planned which will see us create a hospitality academy with accommodation for prisoners working outside the prison and a multipurpose building to include training spaces, multifaith and new care and separation unit.
“On completion Jersey will have a state-of-the-art prison, the infrastructure being funded mostly out of Criminal Compensation funds.”
