The impact of lockdown when you're already locked up -

(Swansea University) The impact of Covid restrictions on prisoners and prisons is the focus of a new research project, funded with £ 250,000, to identify lessons learned. Pandemic control measures create huge difficulties in prisons. The cramped physical conditions make social distancing very difficult. Many prisoners are extremely vulnerable. Measures to tackle Covid have meant additional constraints for prisoners, on top of normal restrictions. The team will assess the impact of these on prisoners' psychological wellbeing and behaviour.
