The recent change of legislation to facilitate prisoner releases under SDS 40 has brought our prisons into sharp focus. In this challenging landscape, HMPPS are committed to enhance the experiences and outcomes for people in our prisons in the short, medium and long term. Chris Gunderson from HMPPS will visit on 29th November to lead an informal discussion forum on the future of prisons in England and Wales. Chris will briefly introduce the challenges of the current delivery landscape and will then then lead a discussion on the following key question for HMPPS to consider: What is the ideal structure of a future prison and what can, should and must it deliver? This is an opportunity to share ideas on potential reforms and to flag opportunities to HMPPS as they map out the direction for prisons in England and Wales.
