Prison chief says jail population has gone from 830 in 2018 to 1,230
More than a quarter of inmates at Maghaberry developed issues with drugs while in the jail, an inspection report reveals today.
In a joint statement, Jacqui Durkin, chief inspector of CJI and Charlie Taylor from HMIP, said: “Inspectors found a decline in performance against the ‘healthy prison’ tests since the last inspection in 2018 and identified a number of concerns which included access to drugs and significant areas for improvement in the delivery of education, skills and work activities.”
Inspectors found there had been reduction in prisoners’ access to education, skills and work activities with only 15.5% of prisoners off their wing at the time of the inspection. The inspection report said staff-prisoner relationships they observed were friendly and relaxed but raised concerns about some comments prisoners and staff made to inspectors about the treatment of Catholic prisoners.
“However, prison leaders must focus on getting prisoners off wing and into the sort of meaningful work, training, education and rehabilitative support that will make them less likely to offend on their release.”
