I would guess Wormwood Scrubs, since it is a prison, that Amnesty International is complaining about.

The 'blank' letter word bit is the giveaway- It must be 'four' so it must be Eton. Old Etonians do seem a little reticent about which 'old school' they went to so it does fit.
I have known a number of people who have been in 'the Scrubs' and no other euphemism is used so far as I know for that institution.
