- Agecroft, near Salford—an 800-place multi-functional male prison, to open in January 2000;
- Marchington, near Stafford—an 800-place prison, including a 200-place therapeutic unit, to open in October 2000; and
- the site adjacent to Onley prison, near Rugby—a 600-place male adult training prison, to open in October 2000.
