Clinks Blogs
A summary of the Ministry of Justice's Education and Employment strategy, what it means for the voluntary sector and how far its proposals go in unlocking opportunities for people in the criminal justice system.
Naomi Delap of Birth Companions looks at recently published standards to improve the health and wellbeing of women in prison, and how we might achieve much needed change across the criminal justice system.
Below is a transcript of the presentation Anne Fox, Chief Executive Officer of Clinks, delivered this morning at the launch of the latest trackTR report concerning voluntary sector involvement in Transforming Rehabilitation
In March 2018, Clinks Policy Officer Oonagh Ryder visited a youth custody institution in Ciudad Real, Spain, run by the voluntary organisation Diagrama. This blog discusses what she saw on this visit and asks whether Diagrama’s model could work in England and Wales.

It summarises learning from the project and outlines how it can be applied – and the outcomes achieved replicated – in order to deliver safer and more rehabilitative prisons.
