Lockdown measures ‘increased depression and anxiety among prisoners’ – survey

Talking about our report, Coping with Covid, Mark Johnson, comments: “When almost no one was able to get into prisons, we were able to conduct one of the largest studies of prisoner experiences.”

“It shows that we need to talk about criminal justice. Are prisons just for punishment or are they failing prisoners and the public if they don’t offer the support which leads to rehabilitation?”
