</p><p>There are 13 Therapeutic Communities within four male prisons (HMPs Dovegate,
Gartree, Grendon and Warren Hill) which address the interpersonal problems, attitudes,
thinking and emotions of offenders and aim to engage in treatment those who also have
additional emotional and psychological needs. These services are trauma-focused and
are designed to respond to abuse where it is relevant to individuals.</p><p> </p><p>There
are also specialist personality disorder services at HMP Whitemoor and HMP Frankland
(since 2005/06), and new treatment services opening at HMPs Garth and Swaleside this
financial year 2014-15. These new services are part of a wider personality disorder
pathway approach which is being implemented with support from the NHS at a number
of prisons.</p><p>It is not possible to identify separately the costs associated with
these specific interventions and treatments as they are often integrated into the
wider cost structure of the therapeutic community and personality disorder services
and also with the wider costs of operating prisons.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
