The Celtic League claims the Manx Government is breaching United Nations guidelines on the treatment of prisoners by housing adult and juvenile offenders together in prison.
Director of Information Bernard Moffatt says overcrowding at Victoria Road (pictured) has forced the move.
In the past, men and women have been forced to share wings because of an accommodation crisis.
Mr Moffatt says that was bad enough, but the present situation is even worse:
Mountain Road to stay closed overnight
Some areas still 'extremely slippery' following snowfall
Horse Tramway business case 'under final review'
Case 'decoupled' from Tramway Terrace Project
BMA finds less than a quarter of doctors recommend working at Manx Care
The union says its latest staff survey is a "damning indictment" of healthcare provider
Thirteen people entered or tried to enter the Island without immigration permission since January 2025
