Military Provost Staff
The Military Provost Staff are the Army's specialists in Custody and Detention, providing advice inspection and surety within custodial establishments. They are under direct command of Provost Marshal (Army) and are based primarily at the Military Corrective Training Centre (MCTC) at Colchester from where they deploy regularly in support of British Military operations.
MCTC is subject to regular independent review by HM Chief Inspector of Prisons (HMCIP) and detention arrangements in operational theatres are inspected by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
