Recommendation 10
10
Paragraph: 51
Racial disparity exists in identifying mental health conditions during prisoner health screenings
Conclusion
It is unacceptable that one in 12 prisoners do not have a health screening appointment within 24 hours of arrival and that Black, Asian, and other Minority Ethnic prisoners who have a mental health condition are less likely to have that identified than their white counterparts.
