	HM Prison Service
		The prison library service is vital in supporting this provision which is, in turn, consistent with the Prison Service policy of providing constructive regimes which allow inmates to purposefully use their time during custody which will assist them on release.
		The Prison Service believes that the development of its libraries should be congruent with developments in the public sector.
		Prisoners readily admit that they very seldom used the public library service before sentence because libraries and librarians do not fully comprehend some of the deficiencies described in 7.1.1 and, therefore, libraries, for this group of people, are distinctly unfriendly.

		At HM Prison and Young Offender Institution Ashfield, where the juvenile population was increased in 1999 from 80 to 300 and the regime had to be changed so that it was compliant with Prison Service requirements for juveniles.
		For example, at HM Prison Rye Hill, where in exchange for a reduction in the unattainable target of purposeful activity of 35 hours of purposeful activity per prisoner per week to 32 hours, the prison has agreed to increase literacy and numeracy accreditations and key work skills.
		A prison would, however, be penalised at the annual audit of programme implementation for transferring programme participants for non-clinical or non-security considerations so I am confident that, in practice, the number of prisoners forced to drop out as a result of transfer to another establishment is small.

		Scotlandâs Chief Inspector of Prisons, Clive Fairweather, has published a highly critical intermediate report on HM Prison Aberdeen.
		There was also violence on the first night of the inspection, whilst a prisoner was found hanging in his cell just after the inspection team departed.
		As such it is, in our opinion, an idle, unsafe and failing prison; as a result a number of formal recommendations have been made in order to retrieve the situation (the first time this has ever had to be done outwith a formal inspection).

	Press release: Sexual harassment case highlights HM Prison Service's failure to support a victim in its own ranks
		HM Prison Service has admitted that it failed to support a female prison officer when her line manager subjected her to sexual harassment while she was employed at Styal Prison in Cheshire.
		As a result, Laverne Aruoturé's sex discrimination case settled when HM Prison Service made a written apology and agreed to pay her £16,800 compensation, as well as covering the cost of counselling for her.
		The prison's investigating officer considered Ms Aruoturé's allegations to be well founded and concluded that, given the evidence, her line manager was a 'serial sexual harasser'.

	HMPS guideline proposals for transsexual prisoners
		One prisoner suggested that if she called the more effeminate prison officers 'she' they would have a right to object, and clearly if this were an issue surrounding race, universal practice in the prison service could only be seen as racist.
		This is without what one prisoner described as her experience of staff's increasing levels of prejudice, verbal abuse, physical molestation and emotional warfare.
		Again prisoners vary from the acceptably feminine-looking male-to-female to someone who would always be a focus for ridicule; from first-stage transitional m-to-f, for whom a male prison might be appropriate, to a post-operative m-to-f woman for whom it would not.

		One in four prisoners is from an ethnic minority, compared with one in eleven amongst the whole population in England and Wales.
		What’s most shocking about this report is that, despite numerous wake-up calls, Prison Service managers persistently failed to tackle racism in their institutions and that very often they also failed to implement their own policies on racial discrimination, abuse and harassment.
		I recognise the progress made by the Prison Service since our Formal Investigation was launched and I am confident of the commitment and determination of current management to stamp out racism in all parts of the service.

		Thus, it was argued, Mrs Salmon’s illness was the result of a number of factors only some of which constituted unlawful conduct on the part of the Prison Service.
