	Her Majesty's Prison Service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Her Majesty's Prison Service is the British Executive Agency reporting to the Home Office tasked with managing most of the prisons within England and Wales (Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own Prison Services).
		Currently there are seven prisons that have been designed, constructed, managed and financed (so-called DCMF prisons) privately.
		Private prisons are subject to scrutiny by the Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Prisons in a similar manner to prisons run by the public Prison Service.

		I also became a volunteer helper on a minibus service that escorted children to see their parents in prison: I felt strongly that by meeting the families of women prisoners I would have a fuller picture of what being in prison means to a woman whose children are left at home.

		In April 1990 she transferred to work as an Administrative Officer at HM Prison Swaleside, which is situated at Eastchurch, in the Isle of Sheppey.
