Pact receives "glowing and consistently positive feedback" from mothers in prison in new report

Pact staff received glowing feedback from mothers in prison in a new report examining the impact of short custodial sentences on mothers and their children.

Lord Farmer convinced that good relationships “must be the golden thread running through prison reform.”

We were delighted to co-host the event ‘Prisoners and Their Families: A Journey of Change’ at HMP Coldingley last week, with guest speaker Lord Michael Farmer.
