INTRODUCTION

I am pleased to report on the performance of the Jersey Prison Service during 2012. It proved to be a very productive and successful year.

Prisoner numbers were down on 2011 figures with a daily average of 157 and a peak of 170, in comparison with 184 and 200 in 2011.

A new Visit Centre/staff training and rest area was constructed on site and handed over late November. This is an excellent facility and brings another part of the prison up to modern day standards.

The  introduction  of  the  new  Operations  Prison  Officer  grade  has  worked  very successfully and improved our efficiency.

The  commitment  to  staff  personal  development  continued  with  some  remarkable achievement documented in body of this report.

The positive changes in the management of the Jersey Prison Service were recognised when it won the CIPD (Jersey Branch) Award for the "Most Successful Change Management Programme in 2012". The Service was also short-listed for the Jersey Enterprise award for the Large Enterprise of the Year".

In conclusion, I am delighted to report on another very good performance by the Jersey Prison Service and I take this opportunity to thank the staff at the prison for their commitment and support during 2012.

Bill Millar Governor

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.

A Drama Workshop was arranged through the Jersey Opera House using the cast of the Original Theatre Company'. The event was covered  by  the  media  with  the  JEP,  Jersey  Radio,  Channel 103, BBC TV and Channel TV all involved. The workshop was attended by 20 prisoners and 10 actors.

The InsideOut 5 Art exhibition took place at the Harbour Gallery from March 15–25th and it was formally opened by Lady McColl, Patron of Art in the Frame. An interesting and varied range of work was on display with ceramics being added to the 2012 curriculum.

Two  of  the  Learning  and  Skills  staff  completed  the  Basic  Food Hygiene qualification and used this to start some life skills cooking classes with the Young Offenders.

The main greenhouse in the horticultural compound was demolished in February to facilitate the repositioning of an internal security fence and a smaller replacement greenhouse was completed in November. Also, a new education unit consisting of an office, classroom and practical  area  has  been  constructed  and  will  be  ready  for  use  in March 2013.

Investment in training for the Physical Education staff has enabled the department  to  gain  the  accreditation  to  teach  a  wider  range  of vocational training and recreational courses. The suite of accredited programmes has been extended in 2012 to include CYQ Spinning.

External verification processes were completed successfully during 2012 for all the Exam Boards the Prison is accredited to deliver.

  1. Learning opportunities
  1. A core curriculum was accessible to all prisoners consisting of a minimum of –

1 Functional Skills lesson per week

1 ESOL lesson per week

1 ICT lesson per week

Additional ICT lessons linked to ECDL training

1 Open Learning tutorial per week for those on programmes

1 Art lesson per week

1  library  session  per  week,  plus  one  other  for  those  engaged  in learning programmes

1 additional library session for those on open learning programmes

A programme, offered in rotation, of Level 1/2 vocational training in painting, carpentry and brickwork; each of these courses is of 6 weeks duration and is full-time

Industrial Cleaning Training for all prisoners employed as internal cleaners

4 recreational Fitness Centre sessions per week and 3 recreational 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 of accredited sports courses in a variety of disciplines is offered  in  rotation,  some  using  Community  Sports  Development

Officers, others linked to gaining industry standard vocational training qualifications

  1. Teaching the functional skills of literacy, numeracy and ICT remains the main priority.  All  prisoners  are  required  to complete  a  basic  skills  assessment before being allowed to start any educational course. Each vocational training course has some IT, literacy and numeracy embedded within it. Although these remain essential, there has been continued development in the range of learning  programmes  on  offer,  enriching  the  opportunities  available  for personal extension.
  2. All new prisoners receive 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.
  3. Several outside agencies were used to deliver courses: the Youth Service provided  bi-monthly  sessions  to the  Young  Offenders;  Brook  provided 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. The  Learning  and  Skills  Department  has  accreditation  with  several examination boards, allowing the Prison to administer and invigilate a wide range  of  public  examinations.  Accreditation  is  in place  for:   Scott ish Qualifications Authority (SQA), Central YMCA Qualifications (CYQ), Sports Leaders Awards, Junior Football Leaders Awards (JFL), English Basketball Association Awards (EBA), 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), University of Cambridge ESOL.
  5. The  Library  facility  is accessible  twice  a  week  to all  Wings  on  a  fixed timetable. In 2012 there were 3716 visits from prisoners to the library and 4,613 books were borrowed.
  6. Prisoners have been supported in a variety of Open Learning Options, ranging from Level 2 to Level 4 Open University Courses. 18 prisoners secured Prison Education Trust funding and 6 prisoners were engaged on Open University courses. 80% of the OU funding was received from ESC grants.
  7. A range of courses was offered to all prisoners on a rotational basis. Short courses  have  been  provided  in  art,  customer  services,  football,  cricket, financial management, and healthy eating.
  8. The  department  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.
  1. There  was  a  participation  rate  of  86%  for  prisoners  completing  at  least 1 general education course; a participation rate of 88% for prisoners attending physical education; a participation rate of 87% for those attending the library.

The Painting and Decorating Instructor has completed an accredited prior  learning  assessment  at  Highlands  to  enable  him  to  teach accredited Level 2/3 Painting and Decorating courses

  1. Work based learning

4.8.1.  There are a number of opportunities for prisoners to gain work based learning: Scott ish Vocational  Qualification  in  Catering  at  Level  1  and  Level  2 are offered  to  all  prisoners  working  in  the  kitchen;  the  carpentry  production workshop employs 10 prisoners who are involved in tasks that utilise the skills they gained on the City and Guilds craft courses, with additional opportunities for learning machining skills; the horticulture compound employs between 17 and 22 prisoners, depending on the season and learning opportunities in this area will be enhanced in 2013 following the completion of a new education unit in December 2012. In addition, the prison is accredited to teach British

Institute of Cleaning Courses, including one that trains prisoners to become trainers.

  1. Employment
  1. The carpentry workshop produced a range of garden furniture products, sold to other States Departments and orders from the Cooperative Society. Some of the finishing work was extended to H wing and J wing workshops. These products meet the criteria to be sold under Genuine Jersey logo. The unit also supported a number of community projects in schools.
  2. The output from the horticultural unit compared less favourably with 2011, due to the extensive building works that have taken place throughout the year.
  3. The workshops for J and H wing are overseen by the Workshop Manager and managed on a daily basis by the uniformed staff. Other employment for the VPU  workshop  has  been  provided  by  a  scheme  in  partnership  with  the Environment Department for the production of bird boxes from recycled pallet boards that are to be distributed free to the community. The arrangement with Transport and Technical Services to recycle electrical goods ended in the summer: this has been partially replaced by other work for TTS through their recycling partner, AA Langlois, to bag soil improver and to bag a variety of aggregates.
  4. Additional employment is made available from temporary vacancies created by  the  full-time  vocational  training  courses  in brickwork,  painting  and carpentry.  These  are  active  throughout  the  year,  taking  some  prisoners temporarily out of work and allowing others without work to take their place. The courses run from 6 weeks for a Level 1 course to 12 weeks for a Level 2 course and they are accredited by City and Guilds.
  5. The numbers shown in the table 4.10.1 below show the numbers of prisoner jobs available by wing throughout 2012. The average rate of employment for all those wishing to work in 2012 was between 80% and 85%. For convicted prisoners the figure was between 90% and 95%.

  1. HEALTHCARE

6.1  Developments during 2012

The department has been fully staffed throughout 2012 and this has facilitated  the  development  of  nurse  led  health  improvement  and triage clinics.

86 prisoners were tested for blood borne viruses and 69 prisoners had cholesterol levels checked.

Clamidia testing was made available to those considered to be at risk but there were no positive results in 2012.

Seasonal  flu  vaccination  was  offered  to  151  prisoners,  85  were vaccinated.

Figures  for  prescribed  medication  averaged  around  55%  of  the population.

Alcohol detox figures have increased slightly to 37.

A survey of patient satisfaction was undertaken in the latter part of 2012. This revealed that 71% of the prisoner population are either satisfied (52%) or very satisfied (19%) with the health care services provided.

The physiotherapist continued to attend the prison once per week. This  has  been  a  very  successful  intervention  with  no  prisoners requiring attendance at the physiotherapy department at the General Hospital.

  1. Complaints

6.2.1.  There were 7 complaints against the health care department in 2012. Only one was  upheld  and  this  related  to  poor  management  of  communications  by healthcare staff.

  1. Detox
  1. The number of detoxes for substance abuse is divided into 3 main categories; for opiates, for benzodiazepines and the majority are poly drug abusers require a combination detoxication for both opiates and benzodiazepines.
  2. The Breakdown of detoxes in 2012 was as follows –

Opiates and Benzodiazepines detoxes  =  18

Opiate only detoxes  =  16

Benzodiazepine only detoxes  =  13

  1. The most significant change in substance misuse has been the reduction in the use of Heroin. The majority of detoxes were for prescribed medication, particularly buprenorphine (Subutex or Suboxone).

  1. PSYCHOLOGY AND OFFENDING BEHAVIOUR PROGRAMMES

7.1  Overview

  1. During 2012 the Psychology Department addressed the issue of succession planning  by  arranging  to change  the  Psychological  Assistant's  post  to a second  Forensic  Psychologist  in Training  position  by  January  2013. Consequently,  2  psychologists  are  working  towards  Chartership  with  the British Psychological Society in preparation for the retirement of the Principal Forensic Psychologist in 2014.
    1. The Psychology Department during the year comprised one principal forensic psychologist,  one  forensic  psychologist  in training  and  one  psychological assistant.
    2. A major initiative during 2012 was the launch of the delivery of accredited offending behaviour group-work programmes. A multi-disciplinary team of 8 facilitators and a treatment manager have been trained in the Jersey Alcohol- Related Violence Intervention Strategy (JARVIS) and Addressing Substance- Related Offending – Secure (ASRO-S).
    3. The Principal Psychologist continued to undertake counselling and support work with staff as required.
    4. The Principal Psychologist continued to provide professional support to the Safer  Custody  Officer  and  the  Child/Public  Protection  officer,  as  well as acting as line manager to the Psychology, Healthcare and Substance Misuse teams. She is also the Co-ordinating Supervisor for the trainee psychologists' progress through the British Psychological Society Stage 2 study towards chartership.
    5. The Psychology Department continued to carry out assessments on prisoners to identify their risk factors and criminogenic needs and design interventions to address these issues.
    6. During  2012,  29  prisoners  completed  the  ASRO-S  offending  behaviour programme and five prisoners completed JARVIS. There was an attrition rate of zero across all offending behaviour programme groups.

  1. DRUG AND ALCOHOL PRISON SERVICES (DAPS) TEAM

During  2012  the  drug  and  alcohol  counsellors  made  contact  with  every prisoner on induction and they were able to offer a comprehensive assessment. Interventions continued to be delivered mainly through one to one work but the counsellors were involved in co-facilitating the new offending behaviour programmes.

  1. Both counsellors co-facilitated an ASRO-S course and also one Alcohol Study Group.
  2. The counsellors worked with a joint caseload of 130 prisoners for the year, despite the resignation of one counsellor. During the year all young offenders and 6 of the female prisoners were on the caseload. The remaining female prisoners had no drug or alcohol related issues.
  3. The Drug and Alcohol Counsellors continued to facilitate visits to the prison from representatives of Alcoholics Anonymous, who ran group meetings with prisoners  on  a  weekly  basis.  The  average  attendance  for  the  year  was 3 prisoners on L wing, 3 prisoners on K wing and 3 prisoners on J wing.
