| Annotation | A unique group is supporting older prisoners serving life sentences to cope with the consequences of dementia. A small group of volunteers, the Norwich Forget-Me-Nots is committed to promoting the uptake of cognitive stimulation therapy (CST), something that the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends for everyone with mild to moderate dementia of all types. The authors report on their CST programme of weekly sessions in Norwich Prison, which they believe has improved the quality of life of this group of prisoners and which should be offered on other prisons.
