HM Prison Warren Hill is a male prison located near the village of Hollesley in Suffolk, England. The prison is operated by His Majesty's Prison Service, and is situated next to Hollesley Bay Prison. History Opened in 1982 as part of Hollesley Bay Prison, Warren Hill was used to hold Category C Young Offenders.
