Health and wellbeing
This problem is a UK government area of research interest (ARI) that was originally posted at https://ari.org.uk/ by a UK government organisation to indicate that they are keen to see research related to this area.
What factors contribute to an effective within-prison health service and how can we respond to changing demographics and needs? What works to support a ‘whole-prison’ approach to physical and mental health?
We want to provide decent, safe and secure accommodation that supports individuals in their rehabilitation. We want to reduce levels of violence and self-harm and develop the evidence on what structures and interventions can help improve outcomes for individuals in prison.
