Women in prison: mental health and well-being. A guide for prison staff

Women in prison: mental health and well-being. A guide for prison staff

Penal Reform International (PRI) / Prison Reform Trust

This guide is written to help understand how life in prison can affect a person’s mental health, with a focus on women. It describes how to recognise the signs of poor mental health and how best to respond. It also includes a checklist based on international human rights standards aimed to help with the implementation of key aspects of prison reform and advocacy initiatives in line with international standards and norms.
