Prisons: Libraries
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many different titles have been stocked by libraries in each of the prison establishments in England and Wales over the past three years.
- Answer
-
Prison libraries play a positive role in supporting rehabilitation and resettlement through offering a range of resources and activities, including literacy and reader development work. However, information about the number of different titles stocked, and new titles purchased, by prison libraries is not held centrally and would need to be collated through enquiries at every prison. This would incur disproportionate cost.
