Piloting a new way of supporting prisoners' families

20 July 2010

In June 2009 the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) asked pact to develop a new way of providing prison-based family support, linking prisoners and their families to the community-based support that they need in order to maintain a successful family life during imprisonment and on release.

This pilot is being evaluated by Professor Gwyneth Boswell.
