| Annotation | Reports from the Prison Reform Trust (PRT) in 2003 and HM Inspectorate of Prisons in 2004 both conclude that health, social and rehabilitation needs of older prisoners (aged 50+) are not being met or taken seriously. This good practice guide has been produced for local Age Concerns (ACs) to encourage them to develop services and activities for older prisoners and ex-prisoners. It provides background information on why Age Concern England (ACE) believes such work is important, and includes practical information regarding the Prison Service, and how a voluntary organisation can work within that setting. It includes examples of good practice from local Age Concerns already working within the Prison Service: the Over 60s Group at HMP Wakefield, an advocacy and support project at HMP Gartree, and the Age Concern Older Offenders Project in the South West.
