Please note that all prison service artefacts and files were relocated from the former Prison Service College in Millisle to a secure location in NIPS HQ. At present there is no inventory of the items or any assessment of value, however, I asked my officials to carry out a scoping exercise to determine the work involved. In addition the Department has a number of items on loan from NICS Arts Collection which is managed by the Department of Finance.
