Prisons
A series of prison disturbances took place in England and Wales in 1990. As the result of recommendations made by the Woolf Report on these disturbances and of a series of criticism made by the Independent Prisons Inspectorate, the Government is committed to a reform programme, which is focusing on the main areas of custody, care and justice. The Government has accepted the main propositions of the Woolf Report; these stated that security and control should be kept in balance with justice and humanity and that each should be set at the right level.
The government's main priorities are to: improve necessary security measures; recognise the status and particular requirements of unconvicted prisoners; provide active and relevant programmes for all prisoners; provide a code of standards for prison conditions and activities; improve relationships with prisoners, including a statement of facilities for each prisoner, sentence plans, consultations and reasons for decisions; and end overcrowding.
Similar policies are being implemented in Scottish prisons.
Steps are being taken to make sure that all prisoners are housed in decent conditions, A major programme of improvement is in progress which will, in England and Wales for ex¬ample, eliminate cells without access to integral sanitation.
