Most prisoners are released from the Isle of Man Prison without addressing their offending behaviour or risk of harm to others. 

That’s the finding of HM Chief Inspector of Prisons after the first inspection of the facility in 12 years.

Inspectors found public protection arrangements at the Jurby facility to be lacking saying it was the ‘most serous deficit’ because there wasn’t enough information about risk management.

Declan Crawley is the Head of Community Rehabilitation for the Department of Home Affairs – he told Tessa Hawley work is being done, with a team of forensic psychologists, to put this right: 

Treatment of prisoners at risk of suicide and self-harm at the Isle of Man Prison is 'inadequate'.

That’s what an inspection at the Jurby facility, by HM Chief Inspector of Prisons, has determined.

It’s one of 14 priority concerns highlighted as a result of the visit and follows three ‘self-inflicted deaths’ at the facility which inspectors said needed ‘full, independent investigation’.  

You can find the full report - and the Department of Home Affairs' action plan - HERE.

Tessa Hawley has been speaking to Prison Governor and Head of Probation Leroy Bonnick: 

We speak to the Manx historian Charles Guard about his second video highlighting a number of issues around the Isle of Man. Whose responsibility is it, what does the public need to do to try and get things done and would Charles ever consider a career in politics?

​A Manx resident who was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer his early 20's will take on the Parish Walk on crutches. 

Adam Knight was 23-year-old when doctors informed him he had stage three spindle cell sarcoma resulting in chemotherapy and revision surgery. 

Tynwald will be asked to support further research into two new models of funding for care at next month's sitting.

The Department of Health and Social Care hopes the new models will make the system 'fairer and more sustainable' for those who use it.

Currently, most people have to pay for their own social care, with only people who are eligible for income support getting state support towards these costs.

Both potential options would incur a huge cost to the taxpayer. We catch up with Health and Social Care Minister Lawrie Hooper to talk the proposals.

The British Medical Association has questioned whether senior leaders within Manx Care can sustain their positions if the culture within the health body doesn’t change.

79 per cent of doctors – who have responded to a new NHS ‘Culture of Care Barometer’ survey – say they don’t believe there is strong leadership within the health body.

Professor Philip Banfield is the chair of council for the BMA – he spoke to Tessa Hawley:

A survey of doctors working at Noble's Hospital has highlighted concerns over the culture within Manx Care.

The British Medical Association and Manx Care have been reacting to the findings from the latest Culture of Care Barometer questionnaire.
