Bermuda Department of Corrections, formerly Her Majesty's Prison Service, Bermuda, is the agency charged with managing the prisons within the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda. It is a part of the Ministry of National Security and is headquartered in Hamilton. In 2002, the Government of Bermuda renamed the HM Prisons to Correctional Facilities. At the same time, HM Prison Service was renamed The Department of Corrections.[1] It is the only prison/corrections force within the British Overseas Territories and United Kingdom that uses the "Corrections" title (popular in the US) rather than the more usual "HM Prison Service" as is customary.
