Volunteer as an Independent Prison Monitor
An Independent Prison Monitor (IPM) is a volunteer who visits prisons to check on prisoner conditions and treatment.
What IPMs do
IPMs talk to prisoners to make sure:
- their rights are protected
- they have the support they need
- they're treated fairly by prison staff
- they can raise issues if they need to
You’ll get full training and support. You must be at least 18 years old and have good communication skills to apply.
