Recommendation 42
42
Paragraph: 219
Publish measures mitigating geographical disadvantage for women's resettlement from distant custody locations
Recommendation
We recognise the resettlement challenges that women may face when they are held in custody far from their home area. We welcome the efforts to address this for prisoners held on remand. However, it is not clear what wider work is being done to mitigate the effects of geography on resettlement. The Ministry of Justice and HMPPS should set out what work is being done to mitigate the disadvantage some women may face to their resettlement when they are held in custody far from their homes.
