HM INSPECTORATE OF PRISONS REPORT ON HM YOUNG OFFENDERS INSTITUTION DUMFRIES 1999

RECOMMENDATIONS

For SPS HQ/Area Director

14.1 There should be a national policy for the management of young offenders, which should also recognise the need for staff to be selected on the basis of their suitability to work with adolescents and to receive the appropriate training (paragraph 4.3).

14.2 An induction process, on the lines of that available for adult prisoners at the National Induction Centre, should be developed for all long-term Young Offenders (paragraph 6.9).

14.3 The liaison procedures adopted by long-term prisons who receive prisoners from the National Induction Centre should be extended to include transfers from Dumfries (paragraph 6.10).

For Area Director/Governor I/C

14.4 There should be a complete re-invigoration of the entire routine in the Female Unit, on the lines suggested (paragraph 5.20).
