Governor defends figures revealed in Tynwald
The governor of the Isle of Man Prison insists the high number of officers guarding inmates is proportionate.
Bob McColm spoke out after Home Affairs Minister Juan Watterson released figures suggesting parity between the figures in Tynwald this week.
Ninety-four prison guards - including senior, principle and governor-grade officers - are currently keeping watch over 93 prisoners at Jurby.
Mr McColm says staffing numbers add up, and are mandatory:
DHSC 'actively exploring' ways to increase ED capacity
Minister Christian says work is also underway to deal with winter demand
'Whole community development' needed in north and west
MLC says the area needs jobs, not just houses
MU completes work to tackle odour in Peel
Sewer infrastructure cleaned following complaints about smell
Information Commissioner rules DESC mishandled FOI on lecturer contracts
Department ordered to revisit request after wrongly refusing to confirm existence of conflict-of-interest records
