1. INTRODUCTION

I am pleased to report on the performance of the Jersey Prison Service during 2015.

Prisoner numbers were up on the previous year, with the daily average increasing from 141 to 151 and peaking at 166.

The numbers of young offenders and juveniles were low (albeit up on 2014) with 12 male and one female young offenders and 2 male juveniles being sentenced to periods of Youth Detention.

I am pleased to report a significant reduction in assaults on staff and although assaults on prisoners were up on 2014, they were low in comparison with previous years.

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

Our drive for efficiency and success in this regard is once again evidenced by the fact that our net expenditure for 2015 was less than it was in 2010.

The Prison Service continued to benefit from excellent partnership working arrangements with  the  States  of  Jersey  Police,  the  Honorary  Police,  Customs  and  Immigration,  the Probation and After-Care Service and a number of voluntary groups including the Freedom for Life Ministry, Corner stone and the Samaritans.

In conclusion, I am delighted to report on another excellent performance by the Jersey Prison  Service  and  I  take  this  opportunity  to  thank  the  staff  at  the  Prison  for  their commitment and support during 2015.

Bill Millar Governor

2. 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 exemplar for other prisons.

3. 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.

3. Changes and events in 2015

1. Expansion in the content on the in-cell intra-net has improved interaction between the tutors and learners.
2. A drama group produced and performed a short play in front of invited guests from the Jersey Arts Centre. The British and International Federation of Festivals provided adjudication  and  they  received  a  gold  certificate  from  the  Eisteddfod  for  their performance.
3. As part of the creative programme, two motivational talks entitled A Talk on the Wild Side'  were  delivered  in  February  and  December  by  the  McCann  brothers  from England.
4. The 7th annual art exhibition took place at the Harbour Gallery in March: InsideOut7 was opened by Lieutenant Governor Sir John McColl and Lady McColl, Patron of Art in the Frame. The exhibition offers 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 costs of the exhibition were met from the sale of prisoner art and a 10% contribution was given to the Freedom for Life Church in recognition for their work in assisting prisoners with finding housing on release.
5. The  2015  External  Verifier  reports  from  City  and  Guilds,   Scott ish  Qualifications Authority,  British  Computer  Service,  Ascentis  (Open  College  Network),  British Industrial Cleaning Society and Highlands College have all been very positive. This enables all of the exam board courses delivered to be OfQual accredited.

6. The horticulture area has received a significant building investment, which has improved the storage sheds and garage facilities and has also extended the outside training area to include a polytunnel. A single span polytunnnel was replaced by three new multispan polytunnels, which were erected by prisoners, significantly improving work area.
7. The carpentry production workshop has had the storage and work tent replaced by a steel structure. This has created improved working conditions and enabled all year painting and varnishing to take place in the work area.
8. The carpentry production workshop made the podiums for the Island Games opening and medal ceremonies and the horticulture compound provided the flowers. The workshop also provided a range of recycled furniture items for Acorn Industries.
9. In July the horticultural workers entered herbs and vegetables in the West Show and were awarded four first prizes for their exhibits.
10. When the opportunity arises prisoners who have completed the City and Guilds courses are used to improve the fabric of the buildings. During 2015, prisoners have painted the sports hall corridors, the gymnasium and areas of J wing and L wing.
11. The weight training area of the gym has had air conditioning installed.

4. Learning opportunities

1. The areas within the Learning and Skills Department at the prison include employment, education and training, the library and physical education. These make up a section in Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Prisons report titled Purposeful Activity'.

3. 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 the BKSB assessment. The outcome of these assessments determines the level of support provided by the department to the individual during the course.
4. The Library facility is accessible twice per week to all prisoners via a fixed timetable. During 2015, there were 3087 visits from prisoners to the library and 3410 books were borrowed.

2. A total of 28 prisoners engaged in accredited offending behaviour programmes or educational/awareness courses in 2015.
3. There were 16 TSP participants; 12 completed the programme and 4 de-selected themselves. This resulted in 12 completer reports prepared by facilitators and 12 post-programme review meetings taking place. 4 non-completer reports were written

for participants who did not complete the programme. The attrition rate for TSP in 2015 was 25%.

5. 7 prisoners completed ASG and 5 completed DDA.

* Some targets weren't met due to:

• Prisoners failing to complete an objective
• The Prison being unable to facilitate a particular intervention
• Some targets set for completion post-release.

N.B. It should be noted that sentence planning targets are set to be completed during a prisoner's term in custody and this will usually be spread over several years. Consequently, some targets are unlikely to be fully met during a single year.

8. The Market-place

1. This event is held every two months and the purpose of the Market-place is to give prisoners access to external "resettlement" agencies towards the end of the prison sentence in order to assist them in finding accommodation or employment and/or to give general welfare advice. This information is then incorporated into their sentence planning  documents. The  number  of  prisoners,  appointments  and  agencies  that attended are shown in Figure 5.
