2.1 Inspections and Investigations 2.1.1 The inspections unit was established in September 2011. Inspections are conducted in accordance with pre-determined guidelines which cover a range of activities related to incarceration e.g. how discipline is maintained, whether good governance principles are practiced, health care provision, and maintenance. Inspections include interviews with heads of correctional centres and inmates, and site visits to corroborate information provided. Inspection reports are submitted to heads of correctional centres, and the remedy of shortcomings identified, is monitored. The JICS aims to inspect each correctional centre at least once every three years.
