<p>Without a definition to determine the threshold of an ‘adverse’ report, it is difficult
to definitively answer the question as posed, however reports on privately managed
custodial institutions are published online.</p><p> </p><p>In common with public sector
custodial institutions, privately-managed institutions are inspected by HM Inspectorate
of Prisons. Their reports are published online and are available to read here: <a
href="https://www.justiceinspectorates.gov.uk/hmiprisons/inspections/" target="_blank">https://www.justiceinspectorates.gov.uk/hmiprisons/inspections/</a></p><p>
</p><p>Privately-managed prisons and immigration removal centres are also subject
to scrutiny by Independent Monitoring Boards, in line with their public sector equivalents.
Their role is to monitor the day-to-day life in their local prison or removal centre
and ensure that proper standards of care and decency are maintained. The Board at
each prison publish an annual report, available to read here: <a href="https://www.imb.org.uk/reports/"
target="_blank">https://www.imb.org.uk/reports/</a></p><p> </p><p>We robustly manage
private providers to ensure that they put in place and prioritise actions to address
any recommendations made in the reports, and that progress is made to achieve these
actions.</p>
