| Annotation | "Growing old in Prison", by Kenneth Howse, a report from the Prison Reform Trust, argues that older prisoners are being neglected, because the prison and probation services are failing to meet their specialist health, social and rehabilitative needs. This article outlines the report's main findings, and presents the views of organisations such as Pacer 50Plus (a support network for older prisoners) and Revolving Doors (a charity working with ex-offenders with mental health problems).
