Prison health 'needs cash boost'
"Mental health services in prisons are not getting the investment they need to provide adequate care, experts say.
Researchers found £300 a year is spent per prisoner on mental health care - a third what is spent on people with severe problems in the community".

You have a very real subject here which needs more coverage.
ReplyDeleteThe mental ill health may, at times, pertain to those behind the bars.

Keep digging on this one!!!
