Connections: A review of learning from the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust Prison Reform Fellowships

From 2010-2015, the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust funded Travelling Fellowships with a particular focus on prison reform across the world. These Fellowships, arranged in partnership with the Prison Reform Trust, were established at a time when the prison population in England and Wales had all but doubled in twenty years. With over 84,000 people currently in prison the Fellowships offer a way of learning about how other countries respond to crime and whether a similar approach could be taken here. This brief overview highlights some of the learning from these Fellowships.
