Independent Monitoring Boards
Inside every prison, immigration removal centre and short-term holding facility there is an Independent Monitoring Board (IMB).
IMBs are made up of over a thousand unpaid volunteers operating in every prison in England and Wales, and every immigration detention facility across the UK.
IMB members are the eyes and ears of the public, appointed by ministers to perform a vital task: independent monitoring of prisons and immigration detention.
We are currently recruiting to the Boards at Yarl's Wood Immigration Removal Centre and Bedford prison. This campaign closes on 15th April 2025. Please visit the IMB website to apply imb.org.uk
