To date, we have invested widely in prisoner communication, including rolling out video calling technology in July 2020 and email-reply systems in Autumn 2020 in all women’s prisons. We also completed the roll out of in-cell telephony in all closed women's prisons in June 2021. In addition, as part of family contracts, all women’s prisons have Family Engagement Workers who will work with and facilitate engagement with local authorities. In the longer-term, we aim to pilot employing social workers in women’s prisons.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 22/03/2022 17:47:07 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
