The Prison Reform Trust’s goal is to improve conditions for prisoners and their families while working to reduce imprisonment rates in England and Wales. To achieve this, the organisation inquires into the working of the system, informing staff, prisoners and the wider public, and influences Parliamentary officials and the UK government towards reform.

staff, prisoners and the wider public, and

government towards reform.
The Trust’s research programme works to
provide prisoners with an opportunity to
explain their experiences, as well as supporting
Prison Service efforts to improve prisons. The
Prison Reform Trust also provides evidence-
based knowledge to inform government,
policymakers, the academic community, the
voluntary sector and the wider public.
Prison Reform Trust research projects
currently explore a variety of different aspects
of the criminal justice system, including the
deployment of information technology in
prisons and alternatives to institutionalisation.
Reports published by the Trust explore issues
such as the experiences of members of the
prison population and how individuals who
have been convicted of sexual offences are
treated differently by employers.
