I am pleased to report on the performance of the Jersey Prison Service during 2016.
Prisoner numbers remained relatively low throughout the year and marginally down on the previous year, with the daily average decreasing from 141 to 140, and peaking at 157, in comparison with 166 in 2015.
The numbers of young offenders and juveniles were exceptionally low, with only 2 male young offenders (aged 18–20) and one female juvenile (aged 15–17) being sentenced to periods of Youth Detention.
A significant development for La Moye (and indeed for the Bailiwick of Jersey) was the introduction of Building Better Relationships', which is an accredited offending behaviour programme for male perpetrators of domestic violence.
Another significant development was the opening of our recycling area, where food waste from the kitchen and accommodation Wings and green waste from the horticulture compound are recycled to produce good quality compost. Plastics, cardboard and tins are also compacted before transporting to La Collette.
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.
As reported in previous years, the Prison Service continued to benefit from excellent partnership working arrangements with the States of Jersey Police, the Honorary Police, Customs and Immigration Department and the Probation and After-Care Service. We also continued to benefit from incredible support from a number of voluntary groups, including the Samaritans and the Freedom for Life, Cornerstone and Elim Rock Ministries.
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 2016.
Bill Millar Governor
- 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.
- 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.

6.1.1 At the end of 2016 the Learning and Skills Department consisted of the following sections, managed by the Head of Learning and Skills:
General Education
Construction training
Horticultural training Catering training
Head of Learning and Skills Education Manager
4 qualified teachers
1 part-time librarian
1 librarian/administrative assistant 1 part-time teacher for ICT
1 part-time teacher for ESOL
1 Vocational Training and Workshop Manager 5 Vocational Instructors covering brickwork, carpentry x 2, painting and decorating, industrial cleaning
1 Horticulture Manager 3 Horticultural Instructors
1 Catering Manager 5 Catering Instructors
Physical Education Department 1 PE Manager
3 PE Officer Instructors
- A group of prisoners achieved a gold certificate from the Eisteddfod for a performance of a short play they had produced and performed in front of invited guests from the Jersey Arts Centre. Some new courses have been introduced to the department, including a Cross-Stitch course and Music for Performance and Relaxation.
- Performance Poet, Christian Foley, delivered poetry workshops in February and September. Feedback from the prisoners was unanimously positive and many were inspired to write poems to enter into the Koestler Awards, the JEP Writing Competition and our own poetry competition.
- The department supported staff training by delivering sessions on report writing, returning to study and ICT support.
- The 8thannual art exhibition took place at the Harbour Gallery in March: Inside-Out8 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.
- The 2016 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 our exam board courses to be OfQual accredited.
- The vocational training department refurbished a mothballed part of the Prison to create a new recycling work area. Prisoners assisted with the carpentry and decorating work and erected a polytunnel to house a newly purchased composting plant. This unit turns green waste from the horticulture area and food waste from the kitchen into compost. In addition, the Prison engineers fitted a compacting unit for the recycling of paper and cardboard. The compost is used in the horticultural area and the packed recycled items are transported to the recycling centre. In November a sample of compost was sent to the UK for testing, and the initial reports back have been excellent.
- A core curriculum was accessible to all prisoners. This consisted of a minimum of:
- 1 Functional Skills lesson per week
- 1 ESOL lesson per week (for those that do not have English as a first language)
- 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
- A programme, offered in rotation, of Level 1 and 2 vocational training in painting, carpentry and brickwork; each of the courses are full-time and of 6 weeks' duration
- Industrial Cleaning Training for all prisoners employed as cleaners in La Moye
- Enhanced prisoners receive 4 recreational Fitness Centre sessions per week and 3 recreational Sports Hall sessions per week; standard prisoners receive 3 and 2 sessions respectively
- A fitness referral programme linked with Health Care – those placed on this are not able to access mainstream 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
- 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.
- Teaching the functional skills of literacy, numeracy and ICT was the main priority. All new prisoners receive an 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 Basic and Key Skill Builder ("BKSB") assessment. The outcome of these assessments determines the level of support provided by the department to the individual during the course.
- The Library facility is accessible twice a week to all Wings on a fixed timetable; in 2016 there were 3,229 visits from prisoners to the library and 3,412 books were borrowed. The Education Manager oversees the operation of the library, which was staffed by the Learning and Skills Administrator in the mornings and by a Library Assistant from the Central Library in the afternoons.
- The Learning and Skills Department maintained accreditation with several examination boards, allowing the Prison to administer and invigilate a wide range of public examinations and to deliver OfQual accredited qualifications. 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"), Ascentis (Open College Network), 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.
- On average, just under one-fifth of prisoners engaged with Open Learning. Many of these prisoners came to Open Learning via the Prison functional skills courses, and just under one-quarter of prisoners engaged in functional skills.
- Fourteen varied Open Learning courses were made available during 2016. The courses included: manual book-keeping, A-S level accounting, A-S business studies, principles of customer service, creative writing, nutrition and weight management and website design.
- Three prisoners were enrolled with Open University. Two have since returned to the community and both are continuing with their studies. One has been successful in applying for a 36-week traineeship in the area he studied with the Open University while in La Moye.
6.4.1. Annex B provides a breakdown of the teaching hours for educational and vocational training courses.
6.5.1 Annex C shows assessments completed by prisoner population by the year end.
- One of our vocational training staff was nominated for a City & Guilds Certificate of Excellence following a recommendation from the External Verifier, in recognition of the consistently high standard of teaching that is delivered against national standards.
- One vocational training instructor completed the City and Guilds Teacher and Assessor Quality course ("TAQA") taught by Highlands College, and one completed the TAQA Internal Quality Assurance ("IQA").
- Two members of the L&S staff completed the Award in Education and Training ("AET") with Highlands College.
- One vocational training instructor completed the Approved Code of Practice ("ACOP"): safe use of woodworking machinery course.
- Two of the staff completed the YMCA Awards assessor and IQA training; 2 of the staff attended Reebok Archon Training; 2 staff attended Rugby Ready coaching; all of the PEIs completed First Aid, defibrillator and safeguarding training.
- There are a number of opportunities for prisoners to gain work-based learning, including:
- Scott ish Vocational Qualification in Catering at Level 1 and Level 2
- City and Guilds craft courses in carpentry, with additional opportunities for learning machining skills
- City and Guilds Level 1 and 2 in horticulture
- British Institute of Cleaning Courses
- Gym Instructor Level 2 and Personal Trainer Level 3.
- All prisoners working in the kitchen completed the 3 mandatory units of the SVQ. These units are: Food Safety and Hygiene; Health and Safety; and Team Working.
- The carpentry workshop produced a range of garden furniture products, sold mainly to other States Departments, but also the general public. This unit also supported a number of community projects in schools and larger orders for the Co-operative Society, sold under the Genuine Jersey logo.
- The horticultural area produced a wide range of bedding plants and shrubs, herbs and vegetables for sale throughout the year, and poinsettias and cyclamen for the Christmas market.
- Working in partnership with the Environment Department, a high number of bird- boxes, bat-boxes and hedgehog-boxes were produced from recycled pallet boards. They were distributed at no cost to the community through the Environment Department.
- A number of full-time vocational training courses in brickwork, painting, carpentry and industrial cleaning are run throughout the year. 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.
- The numbers shown in the table 6.9.1 below show the numbers of prisoner jobs available by Prison Wing throughout 2016. The average annual employment rate for all was 78.5%, and 92.5% for convicted prisoners. The monthly range for all was between 70% and 92%, and for convicted prisoners the monthly average range was between 83% and 99%. The variations were in the main due to seasonal staff absence.
6.9.1. The table below details the work opportunities available in each Wing during 2016:
Wing | Wing cleaning | Off cleaning | Other Wing work | Compound work | Recycling workshop | Carpentry workshop | Kitchen | Maximum employment available |

- Following thorough suitability assessments based on risk, need and responsivity factors, the Thinking Skills Programme ("TSP") was delivered to 2 groups of prisoners (TSP7 and TSP8), with 15 prisoners completing the course.
- One Addressing Substance-Related Offending – Secure ("ASRO-S") course was delivered, with 6 prisoners completing.
- A significant new development was the introduction of the Building Better Relationships programme, which is an accredited offending behaviour programme for male heterosexual perpetrators of Intimate Partner Violence ("IPV"). 6 prisoners completed this course.
- A total of 29 prisoners engaged accredited offending behaviour programmes, with 27 (22 male and 5 female) completing them in 2016.
- 7 prisoners completed the non-accredited Alcohol Study Group.
9.4.1. The Substance Misuse Therapist responsible for drug and alcohol interventions completed 68 clinics and delivered 262 individual sessions to prisoners.
- The Forensic Psychologists in Training and the Interventions Team delivered training to Prison staff which included Interpersonal Skills Training and raising awareness about:
- domestic abuse
- sexual grooming
- self-harm, suicide and bullying.
- Educational sessions were also delivered to students from the Jersey College for Girls and Hautlieu.
- During 2016 a total of 219 sentence plans were completed for convicted prisoners, a breakdown of which is shown in Figure 3. The Community Integration Plans ("CIP") relate to prisoners serving a sentence under 6 months where there is insufficient time to conduct reviews before discharge. A total of 18 Community Integration Plans were formed.
Figure 3
- Only 3 eligible prisoners did not engage with sentence planning during 2016.
9.7.1. Figure 4 shows the number of sentence management targets set for completion within 2016.
Figure 4
9.7.2 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
- planning targets are set to be completed during a prisoner's term in custody and this will may be spread over several years. Consequently, some targets are unlikely to be fully met during a single year.
- This event is held every 2 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 following external agencies attended throughout the year:
- Workwise
- Income Support
- Grace Trust
- The Shelter Trust
- Citizen's Advice Bureau
- Community Banking
- Freedom for Life Ministries
- Sanctuary Trust.
- The number of agencies and prisoners attending each event, and the number of individual appointments attended is shown in Figure 5 below:
