Welcome
to the Northern Ireland
Prisoner Ombudsman site
The
Prisoner Ombudsman is appointed by the Secretary of
State for Northern Ireland and investigates complaints
from prisoners held in Northern Ireland who remain unhappy
with the answer they have received from the Prison Service.
The Ombudsman is completely independent of the Northern
Ireland Prison Service (NIPS).
The current Ombudsman is Brian Coulter, and a team of
investigators and other staff supports him.
This website is here to help you understand how and
when you can use the office of the Prisoner Ombudsman
for Northern Ireland. |
