Work underway to set up external inspection at Isle of Man Prison
Mental health support is one of the areas the Isle of Man Prison needs to improve.
That's the view of Home Affairs and Justice Minister Jane Poole-Wilson as her department prepares to put in place an external inspection plan for the Jurby facility.
Ensuring independent oversight of the prison was one of the priorities identified during the recent budget.
With prisoners requiring specialist mental health care currently sent off Island, Mrs Poole-Wilson admits it's one aspect of the prison service that could be better:
DoI working on Island wide review of disc parking
New catering operator sought for northern hospitality business
£1.2m allocated for new Border Division on Island
Government monitoring proposed business rate cuts announced in England
