What impact does digital technology in prisons have on relationships between prisoners and people living outside prison, for example friends, family and legal representatives? How are different forms of digital communication experienced by prisoners and those living outside?
Background
The objective for MoJ is to develop a sustainable and effective prison and probation service that protects the public, delivers interventions that break the cycle of reoffending and rebuilds confidence in the criminal justice system. We want to divert adults, children and young people away from crime. Our evidence interests span a range of areas through all stages of the justice system, with a particular focus on improving holistic systems-wide understanding of what works to improve outcomes.
