Doing Time: the experiences and needs of older people in prison (August 2008)
This briefing aims to give older people in prison a voice. The Prison Reform Trust believe that to develop more effective ways of working with older prisoners, an important first step is to hear directly from them. Although noting a general improvement in prison healthcare, the report finds older prisoners can face difficulties continuing their medication when imprisoned and routinely fail to receive preventative and screening services.
