In many establishments, prisoners who have a sexual conviction are intentionally separated from other prisoners and held in Vulnerable Prisoner Units (VPUs). Twenty-seven prisoners with a sexual conviction in 4 prisons were interviewed. They had varying experiences of complete separation, with and without a treatment emphasis, and integration with other prisoners with non-sexual convictions. Their accounts were analysed to identify emergent patterns, experiences and outcomes. Details: United Kingdom: Ministry of Justice, Prison and Probation Service, 2018. 8p.
