The awesome team at Penal Reform Solutions carried out an analysis into how the Criminal Justice System impacts on the mental health of service users. Our mission was to capture the experiences of service users, as part of a wider project commissioned by the Inspectorate of Probation. We wanted to create an accessible way to tell you about the findings, our recommendations and our reflections from the project so here it is!  Thank you to all those that took part and to Justine Best and David Haze who joined me in this podcast.

We are excited to be starting an Innovation Project with HMP Bristol, who won the award to develop better mental wellbeing services in prison through a peer mentoring service.  It is a privilege to apply some of our learning to this Project and work collaboratively to make prisons better.
