Dispersal prisons in England were designated following a 1968 report by Leon Radzinowicz. Dispersal prisons were created to house Category 'A' prisoners who could be moved (dispersed) to any of the other secure prisons in the dispersal system at short notice as a means of managing their rehabilitation and to ensure that the most serious offenders were not all housed together.
