Recommendation, verbatim from the inquiry
●Inquiry recommendation, Part 5, Chapter 56: Reducing risks in cells; recommendation follows paragraph 56.15
The violence reduction strategy should be used as a vehicle to encourage prisoners to feel that they have a stake in making their prison safe – in particular, by encouraging prisoners to think that they have let other prisoners down if they resort to violence, and by letting prisoners have a say in the running of their prison through prisoner councils. Every prison should be required to have a functioning prisoner council made up of elected representatives which meets at regular intervals.
