WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HOME AFFAIRS BY DEPUTY J.A. HILTON OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 14TH JUNE 2016
Question
Will the Minister, in consultation with the Chief Minister, examine the structural relationship between the prison and probation services and, having regard to the position elsewhere in the British Isles, bring forward proposals for fully integrated offender management and democratic oversight by the end of the year?
Answer
Jersey is fortunate in having well regarded prison and probation services, both of which are staffed by teams of committed and highly professional public servants. As with all public services, this does not preclude the possibility of being able to improve further, become more integrated and have strengthened democratic accountability. I would, therefore, be content to consider this matter and bring forward proposals, as requested.
