Positive end though, I’m now happily on the super enhanced wing, although I left a clean fully equipped cell, and arrived to one lacking anything that wasnt nailed down, I asked a guard for a dustpan and brush so I could clean before unpacking, he banged me up and never returned.

They couldn’t work the scanner properly so I endured 3 scans before they finally accepted they had the wrong guy. They treated me as though I was guilty, and despicable throughout, upon my return to my cell I found the phone had been broken, and mess left everywhere.

Super enhanced is a new scheme being piloted at HMP Fosse with additional privileges.
Like a lot of other things in this prison, the IEP scheme is a good idea being done in a bad way, leading to the most well behaved prisoners feeling unappreciated & disrespected.

Understanding the IEP system, we can see why prisoners on HMP Fosse's longest incident free wing are upset at learning through the grapevine that their wing will never be super-enhanced, like the new wings being rolled out.

Enhanced IEP status @ HMP Fosse means: 4 visits a month, £33.50 form private spends every week, you can apply to go on an enhanced wing & apply for enhanced jobs, courses & enrichment activities. It means we get a small payrise, we can earn up to £19.50 a week for full time work.

Standard means, EG: at HMP Fosse; 2 visits a month, £19 from private spends a week, standard salary rates for prison jobs apply. In a week we earn what would be considered an hours work on the outside.

The 3 IEP Levels: Basic, Standard & Enhanced have different levels of prisoner privileges. Whilst all prisons vary, Basic can mean less / no visits, no TV, less money to spend each week from income & private funds.
