Prisons

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps are being taken by his Department to increase support for prisoners who have successfully completed courses at HM Prison Grendon and who have been returned to the general prison population.
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.
