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.
While it's not an issue unique to the Isle of Man, Mr Neilson says some areas have been able to reverse the trend:
Doctors to be balloted over possible strike action from today
Isle of Man to mark Transgender Day of Remembrance
Onchan Commissioners pilot street lighting scheme 'under budget'
More desire for big retailers to sell Manx products than ever before
