The National Offender Management Service (NOMS) does not hold records of employees charged with all types of criminal activity.<\/p>
Whilst the vast majority of its staff are honest and hard working, NOMS is committed to detecting, deterring and disrupting all corrupt behaviour by individuals working in prisons. A dedicated NOMS Corruption Prevention Unit was set up to ensure staff corruption is identified and tackled. As part of this work NOMS has compiled a central record of staff convicted of criminal offences which meet the NOMS definition of corruption.<\/p>
<\/p>
The NOMS definition is: Corruption occurs when a person in a position of authority or trust abuses their position for their or another person\u2019s benefit or gain. This would include the misuse of their role in order to plan or commit a criminal act, or a deliberate failure to act to prevent criminal behaviour.<\/p>
<\/p>
The central record does not therefore include all types of criminality as not all offences meet the definition.<\/p>
<\/p>
There were 23 convictions for corruption-related offences during 2013. A breakdown of the different sentences is provided below.<\/p>
