		In prison before a serious planned demonstration takes place the unwritten, but mandatory, rule-governing prisoners organising a demonstration is that each inmate in the prison has to be given the option of opting-out.
		The trial evidence also revealed that the Parkhurst Prison administration disregarded the usual methods of a prison administration of immediately defusing an impending demonstration by 'shipping-out' to other prisons those that were believed to be organising a demonstration or, alternatively, overpowering them, and then segregating them in solitary prison strong rooms.
		The sadistic prison officers who were sent to quell the demonstration had the time of their lives, and they were on generous overtime payment for indulging in their sick perversions.

		The argument for privatization stresses cost reduction, whereas the arguments against it focus on standards of care, and the question of whether a market economy for prisons might not also lead to a market demand for prisoners (that is, a strong lobby for ever-tougher sentencing to satisfy the need for cheap labor).
		Prisons may outsource medical care to private companies such as Correctional Medical Services, which, according to Hylton's research, try to minimize the amount of care given to prisoners in order to maximize profits.
		Prisons may specialize exclusively in male or in female prisoners, or have separate departments for each sex.

		The prison was enlarged and extended during its time as a juvenile prison and until that time on March 30, 1864, the boys did much of the work as part of their training in carpentry, stonework and ironwork.
		Unsuitable boys were returned to the other prisons or transported as ordinary convicts and before it closed in 1864, a total of 133 boys were disposed of in that manner - 12 in its first year, 1839, and its largest group of 79 being transported in 1844.

	Guardian \| Foreign inmates plan for Parkhurst
		Prison inspectors have urged that Parkhurst prison on the Isle of Wight should be used as a main centre for foreign inmates as the jail is still suffering from "an identity crisis" more than six years after the breakout from its maximum security wing.
		In one of his final inspection reports, the chief inspector of prisons, Sir David Ramsbotham, said that Parkhurst, which was built as military hospital in 1805, still lacked direction after losing its prestigious high security status after the escape.
		There are already 117 foreign nationals held in Parkhurst, one in four of its present population, but they were spread throughout the prison rather than being held in a special unit on one wing.

	DRUGS & CRIME IN PRISONS
		This is consistent with a two year prison service study based on inmate interviews which showed 60 per cent of addicted inmates in high security prisons developed their habit whilst in custody.
		Whilst the reasons for succumbing to drugs when in prison are as many and varied as the stimulants which are available to the inmate population, not least among these is a peer pressure often engineered by a powerful dealer either within or without the prison walls.
		Such a strategy would encompass pro-active intelligence gathering and target operations concerning prison inmates and visitors; police visitors would be given the assistance necessary to effect their purpose and prison contacts with the police properly directed to ensure feedback is given where appropriate.

		The fourth damning prison inspection report in three weeks, published today, shows that the overcrowding crisis is not only having a damaging effect on life inside inner-city prisons.
		The chief inspector of prisons, Anne Owers, says an unannounced inspection of Parkhurst prison on the Isle of Wight last October showed it was less safe and doing less rehabilitation work than it had been two years previously, because of severe staff shortages and rising inmate numbers.
		Owers reveals that many fl and minority ethnic prisoners believe Parkhurst is "institutionally racist", having at the time of inspection no race relations liaison officer, a race relations management team that had not met for 11 months, and no information on racial incidents in the previous six months.

		A Military Hospital and Children's asylum, called 'Parkhurst' was built on land in the centre of the island in 1778, a large and stately looking house surrounded by its own grounds.
		Poor families did not have the means to pay for their children to be educated and much of the time they were left to associate with older boys, many of whom had a bad influence on them and led them into petty crime.
		By 1853 the transporation of convicts to Australia had ceased and ten years later Parkhurst Prison was to become a women's place of detention with newly appointed warders and a lady Governor.

		One such POW was Sean MacNeela and when we remember Seán MacNeela we automatically remember his fellow prisoner and hunger striker, his coade Tony D’Arcy, the Galwayman who died a week before Sean in St Bricins Military Hospital, Dublin on April 16, 1940, after 52 days on hunger strike.
		Michael, he said, ‘had been tortured in prison by the vampires of a discredited empire who were joined by decrepit politicians who were a disgrace to the name of Irishmen’.
		In spite of assurances from Gerry Boland and Dev after Seán MacNeel’s death that conditions for political prisoners would improve once the hunger strike ended, it took another seven years and the death on hunger and thirst strike of Seán MacCaughey for conditions to change in Portlaoise, where most of the political prisoners were moved.

		The interrogation during the 1997 Tory party leadership contest centred on the allegation that when Mr Howard was home secretary he had overruled Derek Lewis, then director general of the Prison Service, and instructed him to suspend the governor of Parkhurst prison after a mass breakout of category A prisoners.
		But the top Home Office civil servant confirms that Mr Lewis had changed his mind and suggested the governor should be moved to another job instead of being suspended, and indeed argued with Mr Howard that it would be unfair to remove him.
		The papers show that on the same day Mr Howard was telling the Commons that Mr Marriott was being removed that afternoon, the governor had actually been told by a Prison Service official hours before that he was not being suspended and would not be immediately moved from the prison.
