'Worrying lack of commitment': Nacro responds to Women in Prison report

Campbell Robb, Nacro chief executive, said: “Women should not be in prison, except in the most serious of cases. The Government knows this and yet admits that their own failings will see the number of women in prison rise drastically by 2025. The lack of commitment is worrying, from poor data collection to a lack of measurable change in policy and plans to expand the female prison estate. These women deserve more, and soon.”
