In 1962, the Royal Commission on the Police formally acknowledged HMIC’s contribution to policing. HMIs are appointed by the Crown on the recommendation of the Home Secretary and report to HM Chief Inspector of Constabulary, who is the Home Secretary’s principal professional policing adviser and is independent of both the Home Office and the police service. HMIC’s principal statutory duties are set out in the Police Act 1996. For more information, please visit HMIC’s website at http://inspectorates.homeoffice.gov.uk/hmic/. In 2006, HMIC conducted a broad assessment of all 43 Home Office police forces in England and Wales, examining 23 areas of activity. This baseline assessment had followed a similar process in 2005, and thus created a rich evidence base of strengths and weaknesses across the country.

  • Bam 11-16.Qxp Layout 1
    Winson Green Church is organised by Pastor Wilfred Masih he Winson Green Church story began in 2003 during an evangelistic tent meeting run by the West Midlands churches Tunder the leadership of Pastor D. Masih. These meetings resulted in a number of baptisms, and the team members – Pastors Nicholson, Watson and Haworth and Sister Mardiner – decided to set up a company which worshipped at various locations during the next few years. In 2011, they ended up worshipping in the hall of the Bishop Latimer Memorial Church in Winson Green, Birmingham. Pastor E. Lawrence, who is currently serving as the pastor, asked the Church of England whether they could worship in the sanctuary itself and the request was approved. The sanctuary has a capacity of 1,000-plus, but due to the dwindling congregation the Church of England could no longer maintain the facility. After dialogue with Pastors D. Masih and E. Lawrence an agreement was reached whereby the building was donated to the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The company took on the challenge of maintaining the building, and the refurbishments are ongoing. On 12 March the company was officially recognised as a church and became part of the sisterhood of Seventh-day Adventist churches. The sanctuary was almost full as friends and family members joined to celebrate this special occasion in what is now one of the largest buildings in the British Union Conference. The Winson Green church is almost 70 members strong and continues to grow as a beacon of hope in its wider community. The organising service was conducted by the President and Executive Secretary of the North England Conference, Pastors Johnson and Ferguson respectively.

  • Dear Minister, on Behalf of the Members of the Independent
    Independent Monitoring Board HM Prison Birmingham Winson Green Road Birmingham B18 4AS Rory Stewart MP Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Prisons, Probation, Rehabilitation and Sentencing; Ministry of Justice 102 Petty France London SW1H 9AJ 15th May 2018 Dear Minister, On behalf of the members of the Independent Monitoring Board at HMP Birmingham, I am writing to you to express our very serious concerns regarding this establishment, where basic humanity, safety and purposeful activity is simply not being delivered. We fully recognise that there are currently many challenges facing the entire prison estate, but the problems at HMP Birmingham are so serious that we would be failing in our duty if we did not bring our concerns to your attention. You will be aware that HMP Birmingham experienced two significant disturbances in the last eighteen months. The Board is of the opinion that current prisoner behaviour and a lack of staff control on many wings, observed over the past three months, are reminiscent of the scenario we noted prior to both of those disturbances The Board’s view that prisoners, rather than staff, appeared to be controlling many of the wings was supported by the observations of Dame Anne Owers, the IMB National Chair and Neil Richards, HMPPS Controller, on their visits to the prison, and this was reported to the management team. We note that a new Director at Birmingham and his senior team are clearly leading and challenging staff to bring about improvements in the regime. However, put simply, the prison fails to provide a safe and decent environment on an almost daily basis.

  • Privatising Public Prisons: Theory, Law and Practice
    Privatising Public Prisons: Penality, Law and Practice Alison Liebling University of Cambridge, United Kingdom Amy Ludlow University of Cambridge, United Kingdom Abstract In October 2011, HM Prison Birmingham was transferred from public to private management, under G4S. This was the first time that an existing operational public prison was privatised in the UK. The move marked the third and most far reaching phase of prison privatisation policy, and was intended both to increase quality of life for prisoners, from a low baseline, and to reduce costs. Prior to 2011, private prisons had all been new-builds. Private contractors had thus far avoided the additional challenges of inheriting a pre-existing workforce and operating in old, often unsuitable, buildings. This article reports on a longitudinal evaluation of the complex process of the transition, and some outcomes for both staff and prisoners. As an experiment in the reorganisation of work and life in a ‘traditional’ public sector prison, the exercise was unprecedented, has set the agenda for future transformations. The example illustrates the intense, distinctive and rapidly changing nature of penality as it makes itself felt in the lived prison experience, and raises important questions about the changing use of State power. KEY WORDS: PRIVATISATION, PRISONS, STATE POWER, MORAL QUALITY, CULTURE, REFORM 1 David Garland suggests that in order to explain penality, scholars should ‘attend more closely to the structure and organisation of the penal state’ (2010, p. 476) and that we should focus more systematically on governmental and legal processes, particularly in explaining penal change. We agree wholeheartedly. Noel Whitty has described prison scholars as ‘law avoidant’ (Murphy & Whitty, 2016).

I have copied this letter to Michael Spurr at HMPPS and Martyn Kenyon at G4S.
