Campaigner discusses growing number of inmates
Incentivising good behaviour among prisoners is one way to cut the prison population according to a criminal justice campaigner.
Andrew Neilson of the Howard League for Penal Reform has been speaking on the Island at a Positive Action Group meeting.
The Isle of Man Prison at Jurby recently installed portable buildings to increase its capacity in response to a growing number of inmates.
While it's not an issue unique to the Isle of Man, Mr Neilson says some areas have been able to reverse the trend:
Plans for 'all-age pathway' for adult autism and ADHD diagnosis by 2029
Some trailers got 'lost' during recent backlog of freight at Heysham
Police told to reassess FOI response
Census support available from next week
Mobile classroom needed to 'alleviate' pressure at Henry Bloom Primary School
