Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Prisons

Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Prisons (HMIP) is an independent organization in the UK that regularly examines and reports on the conditions and treatment of people in prisons, young offender institutions, and immigration detention centers. Its goal is to ensure these facilities are safe, respectful, and promote rehabilitation. HMIP inspectors evaluate factors like security, healthcare, safety, and staff conduct, providing reports and recommendations to improve standards. Their work helps hold authorities accountable and supports efforts to make the prison system fairer and more effective.
