  1. INTRODUCTION

I am pleased to report on the performance of the Jersey Prison Service during 2014.

Having recorded a significant drop in prisoner numbers in 2012 and remained at a lower daily average throughout 2013, the population reduced further in 2014. The daily average was 141 (down from 159 the previous year) and the peak was 150 (down from 169).

The numbers of young offenders and juveniles detained in custody were again extremely low, with no females under the age of 21 and only 1 male juvenile (15 – 17 years of age) being convicted and sentenced during the year.

While it is encouraging to note a significant reduction in assaults on prisoners, the number of assaults on staff rose from 6 in 2013 to 12 in 2014. 8 of the 12 are attributed to one very difficult and violent individual.

Prisoner achievements in regard to courses completed and certificates received were again excellent and the products from the horticulture and carpentry work areas were of very high quality.

Our drive for efficiency and success in this regard is evidenced by the fact that our net expenditure for 2014 was less than it was in 2010.

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 2014. I also take this opportunity to thank the many external agencies that have supported and assisted the Jersey Prison Service during 2014. Working in partnership with the Probation, Police and Customs & Immigration Services has been very productive and the commitment of our voluntary agencies such as the Freedom for Life Ministry and Cornerstone has been outstanding.

Bill Millar Governor

  1. 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.
  1. 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. SENTENCE PLANNING
  1. Sentence Management
  1. During 2014 a total of 131 sentence plans were completed for convicted prisoners, a breakdown of which is set out below. The Community Integration Plans (CIP) relate to very short term prisoners where there is insufficient time to conduct reviews before discharge.
  2. The total number of sentence plans is down from 2013. This is because the function was temporarily suspended in August and September 2014 to meet operational needs and for civilian staff to be trained. One eligible prisoner has not engaged with sentence planning this year.

  1. Sentence PlanningTargets

The targets in a prisoner's sentence plan relate to matters the individual needs to address while in custody to help reduce the likelihood of re-offending on release and they primarily cover the following areas:

  • Educational needs and practical skills development
  • Good institutional behaviour
  • Addressing offending behaviour (substance abuse, violence, sexual offences) via accredited programmes or individual intervention
  • Securing accommodation (in the community) and work before release
  1. The Market Place
  1. This event is held every two months. The purpose of the Marketplace is to give prisoners access to external "resettlement" agencies as they are nearing the end of their sentence in order to assist them in finding accommodation or employment and/or to give general welfare advice.
  2. An average of 6 external agencies attended each event, including:
  • Workwise
  • Income Support
  • Grace Trust
  • The Shelter
  • Citizens Advice Bureau
  • Community Banking
  • Freedom for Life Ministries

  • Life skills kitchen
  • Female workshop (currently used as a store for carpentry products)
  • Female carpentry finishing workshop
  • Vulnerable Prisoner Unit workshop

  • Education Centre (EC) - a general classroom and an IT classroom
  • Library
  • Art room
  • Association Rooms on each Wing – for basic skills and ESOL Lessons
  • Fitness Centre and Sports Hall , including Astroturf area and classroom
  1. Key developments in 2014:
  • Two comedy drama workshops were arranged with UK drama group Oddsocks, using community support funding from the Jersey Arts Centre.
  • The PE Department ran a Football Association Level 1 course using Jersey Development Officers.
  • The PE department ran courses and recreational gym sessions to develop individual personal skills and to raise health awareness. They had over 2000 visits to the department each month.
  • Those prisoners who are declared as being unfit for mainstream physical activity were allocated to gym referral sessions where they receive individually prepared programmes that are closely monitored and supported by the gym staff.
  • A range of educational courses in sports leadership and coaching were run as options that focus on the development of the softer skills like communication and teamwork.
  • A drama group devised their own play, "Shakespeare's Macbeth, retold for blokes"; this was performed in front of the Prison Governor and invited guests from the Jersey Arts Centre and the Eisteddfod. Later in the year, as part of the Jersey Eisteddfod, a group from each of J and L Wings performed different pieces that they had also written. Adjudication was provided by the British and International Federation of Festivals. Each group won a gold certificate and a trophy was donated to the Prison by the Eisteddfod for the best group. The competition had a very positive effect on the competitors and they felt a sense of pride in their achievement. Other creative activities over the year have included two music workshops and an accredited creative arts course with AptEd (which is the National awarding examination body).
  • New training was offered at the time of sentence planning to help prisoners plan education and work opportunities and to assist them with writing C.V.s and cover letters. The methods taught were coordinated with the advice given by Social

Security and Careers Jersey. The training is designed to help the prisoners become more involved in the sentence planning process and so assist them with finding work upon release.

  • The 6th annual art exhibition took place at the Harbour Gallery in March: InsideOut6 was opened by Lieutenant Governor Sir John McColl and Lady McColl, Patron of Art in Frame'. The Exhibition was 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.
  • An arts exploration course is offered to a targeted group of prisoners; this has a specific therapeutic element that links in with the work of the psychology department.
  • 21 prisoners studied open learning courses at level 2 or above. The number of Open University students studying for degree level modules ranged between 3 and 4 at any one time.
  • Several new courses across Learning and Skills have been delivered in 2014 to add variety to the programme. These are all examination board accredited and include: handball, cricket, film studies, cultivating herbs and domestic cooking. The PE department also ran 2 x 9 week courses of the fitness programme Insanity', which was completed successfully by 36 prisoners.
  • Changes in the City and Guilds examinations have meant that the Prison is now offering a Diploma in Construction alongside discrete qualifications at Level 2 in brickwork, painting and decorating, carpentry with SQA. The 2014 External Verifier reports from City and Guilds, Scott ish Qualifications Authority, British Computer Service, Open College Network, British Industrial Cleaning Society and Highlands College have all been very positive.
  • In 2014 the horticultural unit started teaching AptEd short courses and the Level 1 Certificate in Practical Horticulture Skills with City and Guilds. The quality of product from the unit is very high, evidenced by the cyclamens and poinsettias grown at the end of 2014.
  1. Learning opportunities
  1. A core curriculum was accessible to all prisoners. This consists 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 library extension 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 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 industry standard vocational training qualifications
  1. 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.
  2. 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 had to 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. The Youth Service provided bi-monthly sessions to the Young Offenders and the Jersey Careers Service attended one to one sessions, according to need, throughout the year.
  4. 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: 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 2014 there were 2559 visits from prisoners to the library and 3210 books were borrowed.

  • 1 Physical Education Instructor completed the CYQ Level 3 Gym Instructor qualification and a Residential Officer completed CYQ 2
  • 1 member of the Vocational Training staff and 1 member of the General Education staff completed Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (PTLLS) with Highlands College
  1. Work based learning

7.8.1.  The carpentry production workshop employs 10 prisoners who are involved in tasks that utilise the skills they have picked up on the City and Guilds craft courses, with additional opportunities for learning machining skills; the horticulture department offers City and Guilds Level 1 and employs between 17 and 22 prisoners, depending on the season. 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 mainly to other States Departments but also sold by word of mouth to private individuals. The Unit also supported a number of community projects in schools. Larger orders from the Cooperative Society and some schools have enabled some of the finishing work to be located in the H wing and J wing workshops. These products meet the criteria to be sold under Genuine Jersey logo. The production total in 2014 exceeded that of 2012 and 2013.
  2. The production in 2014 from the horticultural unit out-performed the 2012 and 2013 output, despite having a reduced production area due to changes in the fence perimeter caused by the Prison building programme. The product line has been diversified and there is more efficient use of the existing space.
  3. The workshops for J and H wing are overseen by the Workshop Manager and for the first time in 2014 have been run on a daily basis by one of the vocational training team in rotation. This has raised the quality and the skill level required of the prisoner workforce and has diversified the product range. Other employment for the VPU workshop is provided by a scheme in partnership with the Environment Department for the production of bird boxes from recycled pallet boards that are distributed free to the community through the Environment Department.
  4. Additional employment is made available from temporary vacancies created by the full-time vocational training courses in brickwork, painting, carpentry and industrial cleaning. 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 or the British Institute of Cleaning Science.
  5. The numbers shown in the table 1.1.8 below show the numbers of prisoner jobs available by wing throughout 2014. The monthly average rate in 2014 of employment for all those wishing to work, including a remand prisoner, was between 72% and 84%. For convicted prisoners the monthly average range was between 82% and 94%.

  1. PROGRAMMES AND INTERVENTIONS
  1. Psychology and Programmes Overview
  1. Throughout 2014 the two Forensic Psychologists in Training continued to develop their  skills  towards  independent  practice  through  chartership  with  the  British Psychological  Society.   This  process  continues  under  the  supervision  of  the Consultant Forensic Psychologist who, following retirement in August 2014, has been retained by the Prison two days a week.
    1. During 2014 the delivery of accredited offending behaviour group-work programmes continued. 20 programmes were completed as follows:

Addressing Substance-Related Offending–Secure (ASRO-S) – 6 (non-completers 1) Thinking Skills Programme (TSP) – 14 (non-completers 0)

  1. In addition, the following non-accredited programmes were completed:

Dynamic Drug Awareness Course - 16 completions Alcohol Study Group - 7 completions

  1. A pleasing first Interventions Integrity Framework audit report was received from the National  Offender  Management  Service  (UK)  in  respect  of  the  Thinking  Skills Programme, indicating that the programmes team had performed well during their first year of accredited programmes delivery.
  2. Exploration  of  the  feasibility  of  introducing  the  accredited  "Building  Better Relationships" domestic violence programme (BBR) has continued during 2014 and it is hoped the programme may be adopted Island-wide in the future.
  3. The Psychology team completed assessments on prisoners to identify risk factors and criminogenic needs and delivered interventions to address these issues.

  1. Substance Misuse Team Overview

The Substance Misuse Team suffered considerable disruption when the Counsellor left the Prison to take up a position within Clinical Psychology in August 2014 and the Psychological Assistant who had been delivering substance misuse therapy left the Prison  to  emigrate  in  November  2014.  The  latter  produced  a  short  educational Dynamic Drug Awareness programme, for which she received a letter of appreciation from the Prison Governor. This programme is now in use in the Prison.
