| Annotation | This document provides information on how Age UK can assist the prison service and health and social care providers for older people to fulfil their duties under the Equality Act 2010, and Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Prisons (HMIP) review, 'Time out of cell'. It presents a range of services for older people in prison that local Age UK organisations provide in partnership with prisons and providers of prison health and social care services. It includes examples of local Age UK branches working with older people in prison to: provide information, advice and advocacy; support health and well-being; through-the-gate services; and participation of senior forums in the prison regime.
