Adults with Learning Disabilities

At a certain point in my life, I spent a lot of time in prison—prisons, I should say. I was enormously struck by the proportion of prisoners I met who had learning disabilities; and I was struck by exactly what the hon. Gentleman remarks upon—the inability of the prison system to deal with that phenomenon. I was particularly interested in those parts of his report in which he deals with that problem. Does he believe that we need a complete change in attitude inside the prison service, making that one of its priorities?
