A source at The Verne category C jail in Dorset said: “It’s like a beauty pageant after the classes.
“Some of the inmates go for bright-coloured and intricate designs – to be fair it brightens the place up a bit.
“It’s a far cry from breaking rocks on a chain gang but times have changed.”
The report by the Independent Monitoring Board said staff at the jail, which houses men who have been convicted of sexual offences, lay on courses in construction, painting and decorating, and food hygiene.
It added: “There are also occasional courses in nail art.”
Qualified nail technicians can earn up to £18 an hour.
