Between September 2016 and October 2017 Clinks supported a voluntary sector member of staff in three prisons to implement a bespoke model of voluntary sector coordination reflective of the needs of each prison’s population. They funded a half time member of staff based in each prison and employed by a voluntary sector organisation, to support better coordination of the voluntary sector.
The subsequent report: ‘The Good Prison: Why voluntary sector coordination is essential’ summarises key learning points from the project and outlines how they can be applied – and the outcomes achieved replicated – in order to deliver safer and more rehabilitative prisons
Published in April 2018, The report makes policy and practice recommendations for prisons, Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service, Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Prisons and the voluntary sector working in prisons.
