Prisons

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment he has made of the impact of returning a prisoner who has successfully completed his course at HM Prison Grendon into the general prison population on his continued mental health and well being.
Answer

We are starting work to better address the requirements of prisoners with mental health needs who have participated in therapeutic regimes like those at HMP Grendon. We are taking these steps in recognition that the beneficial effects of such regimes need to be maintained, and be part of a care pathway for individual prisoners that includes appropriate care on return to the mainstream regime and upon release into the community.
