Mental Health Care in Prisons: Briefing June 2007
Sainsbury Centre 
for Mental Health
The quality of mental health care available in our prisons is frequently poor.
This briefing paper provides an overview of the mental health care available in prisons. It examines how mental health problems are identified in prison, how prison inreach teams work, transfers to NHS care, alternatives to prison, and what care is available to prisoners after their release.
It also makes recommendations for improvements and introduces the Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health’s criminal justice work.
