Cabinet Notes:
The Cabinet decided that the number of officers at His Majesty’s Prison (HMP) will be increased, in order to provide better security and to ensure that the ratio of prisoners to security officers meets a desirable, higher standard.
20 more youthful officers are to be trained to fill the vacancies created by retirement, resignations, and need.
More than 205 men and 10 women are currently imprisoned at HMP, including those on remand awaiting a trial date, and those who have been convicted of crimes.
Since the laws governing the possession of cannabis were changed, the prison population has declined significantly.
Crime is also at a new low since employment, especially in the construction sector, has attracted many young males; the opportunities for employment have always been a factor affecting crime, the Cabinet believes.
