Lord Farmer follow-up report on family ties for female prisoners
Almost two years ago, in August 2017, Lord Farmer published his ground-breaking review into the importance of family ties for male prisoners; in which he identified family as the “golden thread” running through the processes of all prisons.
Today, the MoJ has published his follow-up report which finds that family ties are even more important for female prisoners. Formally titled: The Importance of Strengthening Female Offenders’ Family and other Relationships to Prevent Reoffending and Reduce Intergenerational Crime, the review seems destined to be a landmark document.
