Title: Disabled Prisoners: A Short Thematic Review on the Care and Support of Prisoners with a Disability
Summary: The U.K. National Offender Management Service is now subject to the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act. It is required to promote disability equality and eliminate unlawful discrimination in all prisons in England and Wales. Disability, as defined in the Act, covers a range of impairments, both physical and mental, including learning disability. This report draws together information from prisoner surveys and inspection reports between 2006 and 2008, together with responses from 82 prison disability liaison officers, to examine how well prisons are currently able to discharge these duties.
