Governor defends figures revealed in Tynwald
The governor of the Isle of Man Prison insists the high number of officers guarding inmates is proportionate.
Bob McColm spoke out after Home Affairs Minister Juan Watterson released figures suggesting parity between the figures in Tynwald this week.
Ninety-four prison guards - including senior, principle and governor-grade officers - are currently keeping watch over 93 prisoners at Jurby.
Mr McColm says staffing numbers add up, and are mandatory:
People with 'lived experience' of autism urged to help shape services
Lay members wanted for steering group
Memorial services to mark 53rd anniversary of Summerland Disaster
Fifty people died in leisure complex fire in 1973
Thie Clag could've been leased to Manx Care
