So who guards the jailers now?

Article Abstract:

The escape of three dangerous prisoners from Parkhurst prison on the Isle of Wight is one of a number of recent incidents which has highlighted lapses in security at prisons in the UK. The incidents have attracted attention once more to the issue of where ultimate responsibility lies for managing the prison system. It is now clear that there is considerable confusion within the Prison Service about the roles of government ministers, the Prison Service headquarters and individual prison governors. It is also widely thought that the new Prison Service Agency has allowed minister and senior officials to avoid responsibility for lapses in security.
