| Annotation | This 'Bromley briefings: prison factfile' is one in a series with this title produced twice a year since November 2006 (see http://www.prisonreformtrust.org.uk/subsection.asp... in memory of Keith Bromley, a friend of PRT. It presents recent facts and figures from government and other official sources on prisons and prisoners in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. It includes information on older prisoners (aged 50+), which concludes that despite the dramatic rise in numbers, the Prison Service does not yet have a Prison Service Order or national strategy for older prisoners, although "this is being considered". On 31 March 2009, there were 7,358 prisoners aged over 50 in England and Wales; 518 were aged over 70. Other concerns relating to older prisoners include physical and mental health problems, and the lack of palliative care for the terminally ill. (RH). |
