Independent Custody Visiting
Indepedent Custody Visitors Are Now Being Recruited
The Independent Custody Visiting Scheme is one of GMPA's Volunteer Schemes. It ensures custody facilities are closely monitored. Members of the public volunteer to become custody visitors and during their trips to custody sites, they look at a number of issues from the treatment of prisoners and behaviour of custody staff to the effectiveness of custody processes. Volunteers report their findings to the Authority so any indications of problems can be explored and resolved.
Details of the numbers of visits carried out by Independent Custody Visitors are reported to the GMPA Volunteers Steering Group. The latest information reported is available here.
