An independent review of the Island’s prison, alongside the Department’s response and an action plan addressing the report, have been published.
HM Inspectorate of Prisons (HMIP) were invited to the Isle of Man Prison in March 2023 to inspect the facility and processes under their standard inspection framework.
The report highlighted some areas of concern, as well as recognising some of the good practice on Island. Since receiving the report action has already been taken to implement some improvements.
HMIP raised six areas of priority concern, including; governance, at-risk prisoners, clinical governance, prisoner education, public protection and offence-focused interventions.
The report raised particular concerns around governance of processes, including data collection and monitoring, ensuring policies were in place and staff training completed. The action plan sets out in detail how the Prison will tackle these issues, with the majority of changes being implemented before the end of 2023.
The full report, alongside an improvement action plan, are available to read on the Prison and Probation service webpage.
