Campaigner discusses growing number of inmates
Incentivising good behaviour among prisoners is one way to cut the prison population according to a criminal justice campaigner.
Andrew Neilson of the Howard League for Penal Reform has been speaking on the Island at a Positive Action Group meeting.
The Isle of Man Prison at Jurby recently installed portable buildings to increase its capacity in response to a growing number of inmates.
