No problems: old and quiet; older prisoners in England and Wales

The report describes the conditions for and treatment of older prisoners, their healthcare and resettlement, in the light of the requirements of the Human Rights Act, the Disability Discrimination Act and the National Service Framework for older people. It comments on: the built environment and facilities for older prisoners; regimes and relationships with staff; health and healthcare provision; preparation for release and post-release care; and makes recommendations and identifies examples of good practice. The main sections in each chapter are based upon research and fieldwork in 15 men's prisons, of various types, which held the greatest number of men over 60. We used surveys, focus groups and semi-structured interviews with prisoners and staff, as well as our own observations and examination of relevant documents. 442 prisoners (38% of the over-60 male population) were sampled. Each chapter also contains a separate section on middle-aged and older women prisoners, based upon research and fieldwork in three women's prisons, using the same techniques, and surveying 47 women over 50 (31% of the over-50 female population). This fieldwork enabled the authors to examine the specific problems facing this age-group, a few of whom are over 60, but all of whom are older than the great majority of women in prison, and will face increasing difficulty as they age in prison.
