The Prison Board of Visitors was appointed three weeks ago under the chairmanship of Maria Cardona, a Home Affairs Ministry spokeswoman has said.
John Borg is deputy chairman and the members are Anton Grech, James Harrison, Mark Attard Montalto, Martine Cassar, Yvette Borg and Fr Dionysius Mintoff. Marietta Cassar is board secretary.
Its role is primarily to identify any problems or issues faced by inmates and communicate these to the prison management.
The former board members had all tendered their resignation following the general election in line with normal procedure.
