Proceeding contribution from Roberta Blackman-Woods (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 5 December 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Prisons (Carter Review).


Prisons (Carter Review)

With three prisons and a youth offender institution in my constituency, I greatly welcome the statement and the measures to reduce prison overcrowding. However, will my right hon. Friend assure me that prison officers and probation staff will be fully involved in developing non-custodial sentences and deciding the circumstances in which they can be applied, including finding alternatives to prison for non-violent, vulnerable women and people with mental health problems?
