NEW JOB FOR PRISONS INSPECTOR
To Review Management Procedures Of Prisons Department
Hong Kong's first Inspector of Prisons has been appointed to
regularly review management procedures of the Prisons Department, to
ensure effective implementation of its policies, and to report on
recommendations for improvements.
The man chosen for the task is Mr. David Hampton, who has been
Senior Superintendent of the department in charge of young offenders.
In this permanent post, he will be able to look more in depth
into the management of the various prisons institutions, including security
aspects and liaison with the Police..
In this, he will be helping the Commissioner of Prisons most of
whose time has been taken up by administrative work.
"The new post is modelled on the prison inspectorate system in the
U.K. which was introduced in 1969, following recommendations of the Mountbatten
Report on reorganisation of the prison service there," Mr. Hampton said.
"The Inspectors there were specially appointed to direct attention
on regular inspection of prison services, separate from normal executive
functions," he said.
