Recommendation 99

HMIP receives “good feedback on women’s services”, including from people on probation: “the feedback for women is broadly more positive than it is for men.” 188 The Probation Institute also pointed out that an intervention by a women’s centre costs between £1,223 to £4,125 (depending on the needs of the benefitting woman), whilst a place in prison “costs £52,121” per woman per year. 189
