Prison governor looking for solutions
Some prisoners need mental health treatment, rather than punishment - so says the prison governor and head of probation.
Bob McColm believes - in some cases - it's unnecessary for those suffering with conditions to be passed into the criminal justice system.
Last year, it was revealed half of inmates at the Isle of Man Prison had some form of mental health issue.
Out of 86 prisoners - 12 had personality disorders, two had psychiatric conditions like bi-polar, and 29 suffered from depression.
Bob McColm says a solution is yet to be found:
Storm Bram: Trees down amid widespread disruption
Further adjournment for attempted murder accused
Risk of overregulation ahead of Moneyval has led to 'friction'
"Most" remaining MiCard users sign up for bank account payments
Storm Bram: Red weather warning to come into force later
