Family Connections: A review of learning from the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust Prison Reform Fellowships—Part II

This report is the second in a series of five briefings which present learning from the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust (WCMT) Prison Reform Fellowships.

The report looks at initiatives studied by Churchill Fellows which aim to help people in prison to maintain their family relationships through specific programmes or facilities for family visits to prisons. It also examines work being done to provide practical and emotional support to family members of prisoners, including through the mitigation of trauma and other difficulties faced by prisoners’ children.
