2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 21 - Prisons
9:00 am
Ms Caron McCaffrey:
We have been rolling out and enhancing the closed circuit television, CCTV, scheme we operate across our prisons and moving from the quite outdated systems we have in place to high-definition CCTV systems arising from the changes in technology. The physical IT storage space to store that footage has increased and we have had to invest significant moneys to purchase additional storage to ensure all the CCTV footage that is captured and saved as part of an incident is then available for any criminal or Inspector of Prisons investigation.
