| This was the first inspection of the prison since
publication of the report of the last formal Inspection which took place on 2-14 February
1997. The purpose of Intermediate Inspections is to
monitor progress on the Recommendations and Points of Note contained in the last formal
Report and to take note of any areas of concern or good practice which may have developed.
It is the Inspectorate’s aim to conduct an Intermediate Inspection annually except
during those years when a full, Formal Inspection takes place.
This report consists of an updated assessment of the
establishment (with the assessment of the medical services contained separately at Annex
1) followed by comments on the Recommendations and Points of Note referenced to the
relevant paragraphs of the formal 1997 Report.
