2. Intermediate Inspections conducted by the Prisons Inspectorate: April
1999 - March 2000
The way in which intermediate inspections are carried out now culminates
in an updated 'General Assessment', with each establishment receiving such
an assessment once every 12 months; previously, this had only occurred every
three or four years as part of the formal inspection process. Where appropriate,
intermediate inspections can now last several days, particularly where recent
formal inspections have indicated the need for extensive remedial work.
