The findings were revealed in an annual report by the Independent Monitoring Board which monitors day-to-day life in the UK's prisons.The report revealed "healthcare services have had another successful year" at the Category A jail, with virtually no complaints to the board.It said: "In many cases therefore, the standard of healthcare at Full Sutton is probably above that which an individual could expect in the community."The governor and his staff were praised for running a well-managed prison, which caters for 600 prisoners - all of whom are serving long sentences in high-security conditions.The report also revealed that a prisoner smashed up his cell after magistrates gave him a lenient sentence for assaulting a prison officer."He received a lenient concurrent sentence which did not act as a deterrent and actually encouraged him in his subsequent destructive action," the report concluded.The report also said there had been an "unsatisfactory and probably unreasonable" delay in investigating a foiled escape plot by terrorist prisoners last March, because the matter was handed over to Special Branch at a time when there were "other serious terrorist incidents in the public domain".Seven prisoners were sent to the segregation unit with loss of privileges but there was no clear-cut evidence and nobody was charged with any offence.
