Conditions at Lowdham Grange have also been raised in Parliament by Michelle Welsh, the Labour MP for Sherwood Forest, the constituency in which the prison is based.
The BBC has made repeated requests to interview Tyrienna Greenslade, who took over as governor of Lowdham Grange in March 2025, but these have been refused by the MoJ.
However, in a statement, a spokesperson for the MoJ said: "HMP Lowdham Grange is making important progress thanks to expert leadership.
"We have invested over £40m in physical security across the prison estate, and are investing a further £35m this year at high-risk sites.
"The prison will continue to improve the support it provides to people at risk of self-harm or suicide, alongside better mental health support to help bring self-harm rates down."
