London’s prisons are facing up to the significant challenges of offering the right support to prisoners with mental health problems.This policy paper shows that seven of London’s eight prisons now have specialist inreach teams for people with severe and enduring mental health problems. But more service improvement is needed before the complex needs of prisoners with mental health problems can be fully addressed. The report makes recommendations for improvement and ways that the primary care trusts and London’s prisons can work together to make more progress.
