Short-changed. Spending on Prison Mental Health Care (27th May 2008)
This report, produced by Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health and Lincolnshire University, shows that prison inreach teams get £300 in funding for every prisoner in England. This is only about one-third of what they need to offer the same level of service as community mental health services. Short-changed finds that there is wide variation in funding for prison mental health care which cannot be explained by higher costs or different needs between regions.
