HM Prison La Moye - Annual Report 2010

A formal published “Ministerial Decision” is required as a record of the decision of a Minister (or an Assistant Minister where they have delegated authority) as they exercise their responsibilities and powers.

Ministers are elected by the States Assembly and have legal responsibilities and powers as “corporation sole” under the States of Jersey Law 2005 by virtue of their office and in their areas of responsibility, including entering into agreements, and under any legislation conferring on them powers.

An accurate record of “Ministerial Decisions” is vital to effective governance, including:

  • demonstrating that good governance, and clear lines of accountability and authority, are in place around decisions-making – including the reasons and basis on which a decision is made, and the action required to implement a decision

  • providing a record of decisions and actions that will be available for examination by States Members, and Panels and Committees of the States Assembly; the public, organisations, and the media; and as a historical record and point of reference for the conduct of public affairs

Ministers are individually accountable to the States Assembly, including for the actions of the departments and agencies which discharge their responsibilities.

The Freedom of Information Law (Jersey) Law 2011 is used as a guide when determining what information is be published. While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

INTRODUCTION 

 

I am pleased to report on the performance of the Jersey Prison Service during 2010. We successfully drove forward a number of new initiatives and developments and did so within our allocated budget.

 

The size of the prisoner population remained relatively static, with the daily average being slightly down on 2009 at 178 but peaking at 199 (identical to 2009). However, it is interesting to note that there was a significant reduction in the number of admissions from the UK but this was matched by the increase in admissions from Jersey residents.

 

Staffing levels also remained relatively static and we were almost up to strength for most of the year. We did have a few leavers in the last quarter and ended the year 7 officers down.

 

It was a very good year in regard to staff personal development and among our achievements were: 7 managers successfully completed the Modern Manager Programme at levels 3 or 5, our Deputy Head of Education and Skills completed the National Professional Qualification for Headship and 5 staff completed the Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (PTLLS) Certificate taught by Highlands College.

 

Providing learning opportunities and skills development for prisoners continued to be high on the agenda and the new prisoner accommodation and sports hall coming on stream in December 2009 facilitated further expansion of the Learning and Skills Department in 2010 by allowing expansion into some of the older, vacated buildings. This resulted in better facilities for brickwork training, the art class, the IT class and the library.

 

The Learning and Skills Department gained accreditation with several examination boards (detailed in the attached report) allowing the Prison to administer and invigilate a wide range of public examinations.  7 staff completed the City and Guilds Assessor course taught by Highlands College.

 

A further significant development was the introduction of in cell IT hardware that allows prisoners to access education services directly from their cells via an intranet.

 

We developed an excellent partnership with ACET Jersey to deliver training to staff and prisoners related to blood borne viruses.

 

In conclusion, I am delighted to report on another very good performance at HMP La Moye and I take this opportunity to thank the staff at prison for their commitment and support during 2010.

MISSION STATEMENT

 

 

  • H M Prison La Moye will provide a healthy, safe, secure and stimulating environment for all who live and work here.  Prisoners will be encouraged to address their offending behaviour and to become involved in education and work related training, which will enable them to live a law-abiding and purposeful life in custody and after release.

 

  • Supportive relationships with families will be facilitated in order to maintain the positive links that will ensure a successful return to the community.  In partnership with other agencies the prison will provide effective ways to reduce crime and its resultant social and economic costs.

 

  • Our aim is to be a model of best practice and an example to other prisons.

 

 

 

PRIMARY AIMS

 

 

  • Protection of the public by keeping in custody those persons committed to us by the Courts in a safe, decent and healthy environment.

 

  • Reduce re-offending by providing constructive regimes, which address offending behaviour and which improve educational and work skills.

 

  • Supporting offenders’ positive relationships with their families in order to assist their successful return to the community.

1.3.      Discipline

 

1.3.1. During the year, 377 misconduct reports (several for multiple offences) were submitted for contravening Prison Rules. 106 adult prisoners were involved, (101 male, 5 female) and 19 young offenders, (17 male, 2 female). Of these 7 were referred to the police for investigation.

 

1.3.2. Of the reports submitted against adult prisoners 53 had more than one report, the highest being one with a total of 26. Of the reports submitted against young offenders, 13 had more than one report, the highest being one with a total of 10.

 

1.3.3. The longest period in cellular confinement was 14 days and the longest period of loss of any other privilege was 14 days.

 

1.3.4. A breakdown of the punishments awarded during 2010 is attached at Annex A. The reduction in the number of assaults carried out by prisoners (down from 31 in 2009 to 19 in 2010) is very encouraging and reflects good management of the anti-bullying policy. There was also a significant reduction in the number of prisoners caught in possession of forbidden articles. This was achieved by the introduction of more robust security procedures and also transferring the prisoners working in the community out of the mainstream accommodation areas to a stand alone accommodation wing.

 

1.4. Home Detention Curfew (HDC)

 

1.4.1. A total of 21 prisoners were granted release on HDC during the year, 15 males, 5 females and 1 young offender. 3 males and 1 female were recalled to prison for breaching licence conditions.

 

1.5. Staff in Post

4.3. Developments in 2010:

 

4.3.1. Further to the opening of new prisoner accommodation in December 2009, the Learning and Skills department was able to expand into some of the previous residential areas for education and skills training purposes. This facilitated improvements to the facilities available for brickwork training, the art class, the IT class and the library.

 

4.3.2. The Fitness Centre has been open for one year, during which time the range of training equipment has been extended and air conditioning installed into the aerobic training area. The Sports Hall floor had to be re-laid twice during 2010 and was not available for use until December.

 

4.3.3. Close links have developed between the PE department and Health Care to provide an individualised, structured fitness support programme for those prisoners with particular needs; for example, those with heart conditions, weight problems and those who are recovering from operations or injury. Prisoners placed on such programmes are excluded from main stream activity but receive 3 referral group fitness sessions per week and one general sports session.

 

4.3.4. Some of the machinery in the carpentry production workshop was upgraded, enabling the workshop to cut materials to size and to extend the product range.

 

4.3.5. Some investment was also made in the horticultural compound where two large polytunnels and two small polytunnels were repaired and covered.

 

4.3.6. The prisoner IT Network was extended, with new servers being installed to support the Education Learning Platform, accessed on an intranet using biometric fingerprint readers. Most cells were fitted with the hardware to enable access to the intranet before Jersey moved to digital broadcasting in November 2010.

 

4.4. Learning opportunities

 

4.4.1. The core curriculum is accessible to all prisoners consists of:

 

  • 1 Basic Skills lesson per week
  • 1 English as a second or other language (ESOL) lesson per week
  • I ICT lesson per week
  • Additional information and Computer Technology (ICT) lessons linked to ECDL training for the European Computer Driving Licence  (ECDL)
  • 1 Open Learning tutorial per week for those on programmes
  • I Open Learning Group session (only available for L wing)
  • 1 Art lesson per week

  • Industrial Cleaning Training for all prisoners employed as cleaners in the Prison
  • 4 recreational, staff supported, Fitness Centre sessions per week and 3 recreational, staff supported Sports Hall sessions per week
  • A fitness referral programme linked with Health Care – those placed on this are not able to access main stream PE activities but receive 3 fitness and 1 general sports session 
  • A programme, offered in rotation, of accredited sports courses in a variety of disciplines, some using Community Sports Development Officers, others linked to gaining vocational training qualifications.

 

4.4.2. The teaching of the basic skills of literacy, numeracy and ICT continued to be the main priority.

 

4.4.3.  Two experts in adult learning from the Institute of Education reported very favourably on the work being done to embed basic skills into all of the courses and programmes in operation.

 

4.4.3. All new prisoners received an education induction interview within the first week of entering the Prison. These interviews link into the sentence planning process. All prisoners embarking on learning and skills programmes must complete a Target Skills assessment. The outcome of these assessments determines the level of support provided by the department to the individual during the course.

 

4.4.4. The prison’s second art exhibition was held in March at the Harbour Gallery. This has become an annual event, offering a showcase for prisoner artwork. It also exhibits some of the carpentry and horticultural products generated by prisoners working within the Learning and Skills department. The department also displayed work at the West Show.

 

4.4.5. Several outside agencies were used to deliver courses: ACET provided a comprehensive package of courses on blood borne viruses to all wings and adapted course for the Young Offenders; the Youth Service provided monthly sessions to the Young Offenders; Brook provided monthly sessions on sexual health to the Young Offender and Female wings; the Jersey Careers Service attended drop-in sessions during library lessons, according to need, throughout the year

 

4.4.6. The opening of the Fitness Centre and Sports Hall has provided the opportunity to bring physical activity at the prison up-to-date in terms of the ethos applied and the equipment used. This has been supplemented by vocational training courses for gym instructing and courses on promoting a healthy lifestyle. Other courses taught by the PE department were: football coaching level 1, cricket coaching level 1, Olympic lifting, kettleball training and circuit training.

 

4.4.7. The Learning and Skills department have accreditation with several examination boards, allowing the Prison to administer and invigilate a wide range of public examinations. Accreditation is in place for: Scottish Qualifications Authority, Central YMCA Qualifications (CYQ), Open College Network (OCN), the European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL), British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICS), Oxford, Cambridge and RSA Examinations (OCR) and Assessment and Qualifications Alliance (AQA).

 

4.4.8. The Library facility is accessible twice a week to all Wings on a fixed timetable; there were 3671 visits from prisoners to the library and 5116 books were borrowed.

 

4.4.9. Prisoners have been supported in a variety of Open Learning Options, ranging from Level 4 Open University Courses to those studying at Level 1.  During 2010 80% of the OU funding was received from ESC Education, Sports and Culture grants and 28 prisoners secured Prison Education Trust funding. A further 12 prisoners were engaged on Open University courses.

 

4.4.10. A range of courses continue to be offered to all prisoners on a rotational basis. Short courses have been provided in Art, Football, Cricket, Financial Management, and Healthy Eating.

 

4.4.11. The department has continued to support staff training by taking sessions on report writing, returning to study and ICT support, especially for individuals working towards their ECDL qualification.

  • 5 staff from the Learning and Skills department completed the Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (PTLLS) Certificate taught by Highlands College
  • 7 staff from the Learning and Skills department completed the City and Guilds Assessor course taught by Highlands College
  • The Deputy Head of Learning and Skills completed the National Professional Qualification for Headship (on Island)
  • The ESOL teacher completed the Diploma for Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector and received QTLS status (Qualified Teacher of Learning and Skills)
  • The Library Officer completed Arts Award training (locally)
  • Some of the teaching staff had the opportunity to attend courses offered to teachers working for ESC; this has included critical skills training and selected courses dealing with strategies for teaching those with Special Needs.
  • A strong link with Highlands College has enabled the vocational training staff at Highlands to provide regular informal support for the Prison instructors. The Quality Assurance Administrator at Highlands provides formalised support for the City and Guilds courses.

 

4.9. Work related learning

 

4.9.1. The opportunities for work related learning was extended with the introduction of National Vocational Qualifications in the kitchen.

 

4.10. Employment

 

4.10.1. The carpentry workshop produced a range of garden furniture products, sold mainly to other States Departments. The workshop also supported a number of community projects in schools.

 

4.10.2. The output from the horticultural unit was slightly down from that in 2009. This was largely due to the inclement weather at the beginning of the year: rain and storm damage, followed by extreme cold. A combination of weather damage and staff absence at key times meant that the unit did not compete in any of the agricultural shows. The unit continued to occupy up to 22 prisoners.

 

4.10.3. The arrangement with Transport and Technical Services to run the recycling workshop was extended and a formal service agreement put in place. The main source of employment is the dismantling, sorting and recycling of electrical items and computers. 

 

4.10.4. Additional opportunities for work are provided by the spaces that occur from running full-time vocational training courses - these are active throughout the year, taking some prisoners temporarily out of work, allowing others without work to take their place. Training courses in brickwork, carpentry, and painting run for 6 weeks in length, full time, and are accredited by City and Guilds.

6. HEALTHCARE

 

6.1 Developments in health care provision/requirements for 2010

 

  • The visiting GPs have reviewed prescribing practice to ensure that drug distribution is kept as low as possible.
  • Hospital referrals are deferred whenever possible until the prisoner’s release from prison.
  • The figures for alcohol detox were similar to 2009 at 27. However, it is significant to note that the number of drug detoxes doubled from 34 in 2009 to 68 in 2010.
  • We continued to promote and develop the nurse led clinics and this reduced the numbers of prisoner GP appointments by approximately one third. These clinics are primarily health improvement clinics, which include; blood borne viruses, sexually acquired infections, smoke cessation and physical health checks.
  • There was a 21% increase in reception health screen interviews.
  • There was an increase in the number of prisoners receiving treatment from the physiotherapist. This service was provided on site by H&SS, preventing the need for the vast majority of physiotherapy referrals to be escorted to the General Hospital.
  • A special “PE Referral System” was introduced. The P.E manager provided a good service to prisoners who were either recovering from injury or were not fit enough to attend the mainstream gym sessions.

 

6.2     Healthcare Clinics

 

6.2.1. GP Clinics

 

 

6.2.2. The GP clinic continues to be a much sought after clinic but more healthcare staff andintroduction of more  nurse led clinics are now in place which shoulddid result in a reduction in GP consultations in 20110 (as predicted in the 2009 Annual Report)0.

 

6.2.3. Psychiatrist Appointments

 

 

 

 

 

 

6.2.4. Dentist Appointments

6.2.6. Alcohol and Drug Detoxification Programmes

 

 

6.2.7. The number of alcohol detoxes increased was similar toin 20100909, this was essentially due to two individuals being released and admitted several times. but drug detoxes required in 2010 was double the number required in 2009.
