The Prison Reform Trust has recently provided evidence and a submission to the Justice Committee’s inquiry on women offenders, and the Scottish Prison Service’s consultation on women in custody.
The Prison Reform Trust has a long standing interest in women’s offending and has been awarded a three year grant by the Pilgrim Trust to support our UK-wide strategy to reduce the number of women in prison. This new programme will draw on the success of our work to reduce child imprisonment. ‘Out of Trouble’ has made a significant contribution to a 40 per cent reduction in child custody.
