<p>The Independent Monitoring Boards (IMBs) play an important role in supporting the
Ministry of Justice to improve the safety and security of our prisons. Although the
IMB is responsible for the recruitment of its volunteers, the Department recognises
the challenges that exist in recruiting members to some individual Monitoring Boards.
MoJ has, therefore, increased the funding available to the organisation in 2022-23.
This increase in funding will help support improvements to member recruitment and
retention policies to ensure Boards continue to deliver statutory responsibilities
to monitor and report on the treatment of those detained in custody.</p>
