A look inside
The prisons ombudsman, Stephen Shaw, is to take over the official inquiry into last year's riot and fire at the Yarl's Wood immigration removals centre. It is likely that he will take on, too, a new role investigating the growing number of deaths in custody.
These new challenges will amount to a major extension of the remit of the prisons and probation ombudsman - a job created nine years ago to help ensure that justice did not end at the prison gate.
