	Custody and Training of Female Prisoners in Scotland
		Holloway is a national training and local prison; and also a national psychiatric prison for females.
		The principle of the responsible prisoner was recognised in that, judging each case on its merits, the Governor was prepared to consider prisoners being allowed to make town visits in the company of their visitors.
		Visits were generous and although prisoners looked forward to the weekend leaves escorted by their visitors they admitted to difficulty in coping with the traumatic effect of returning to the prison.

	Wikipedia: Prison
		The argument for privatization stresses cost reduction, whereas the arguments against it focus on standards of care, and the question of whether a market economy for prisons might not also lead to a market demand for prisoners (that is, a strong lobby for ever-tougher sentencing to satisfy the need for cheap labor).
		Prisons may outsource medical care to private companies such as Correctional Medical Services, which, according to Hylton's research, try to minimize the amount of care given to prisoners in order to maximize profits.
		Prisons may specialize exclusively in male or in female prisoners, or have separate departments for each sex.

	BMA - Prison medicine : a crisis waiting to break
		HM Inspectorate of Prisons for England and Wales, 1996), which was strongly endorsed by the BMA, emphasised that “prisoners should be entitled to the same level of health care as that provided in society at large.
		Prison doctors often have little support in responding to the complex health needs of prisoners who, as a population, are notoriously unhealthy and also often have a multiplicity of other problems.
		Prison doctors have dual responsibilities: to their patients and to assist the authorities who employ them in the efficient and economic running of the prison.

		Holloway prison now has vastly improved relations between the management team and trade unions and this more consensual approach to the running of the prison is helping to produce real gains for prisoners.
		During the workshops, agreement was reached that self-harm should be a priority issue to be dealt with by prison officers and that the policy should be implemented.

	Prisoners' Families Helpline: Remand
		Until a prisoner is sentenced, the treatment they receive in custody reflects the fundamental principle that an individual is innocent until proven guilty.
		Prisoners held on remand awaiting trial are not normally categorised but would generally be treated as category B. However, if the Prisoner is assessed as a category A prisoner, they will be held in this way.
		Although these prisoners should be held separately from sentenced prisoners often a individual on remand awaiting trial will have to share a cell with a convicted prisoner.

	Action for Prisoner's Families: Mothers in Prison (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Most mothers in prison are the primary carers of their children and, because of this their imprisonment can result in a complete disruption to family life(2).
		Children from a surprisingly young age know that they are visiting a prison, but go along with the pretence that they are visiting a hospital, or workplace, because they want to protect their carers and parents and not cause further stress.
		Some prisons run special visits for children; these may be longer than a normal visit, are designed to be child friendly and may include the opportunity to play and eat with the mother.

		Half of the women in prison are on prescribed medication such as anti-depressants or anti-psychotic medicine and there is evidence that the use of medication increases whilst in custody.

	Prison Reform
		Prisoners awaiting trial often face huge obstacles in trying to convince the courts that they would be safe to release on bail.
		Prison Service regulations (PSO 6101) state that each prison that holds prisoners on remand is mandated to provide a Bail information scheme.
		The failure of a large number of prisons to provide a functioning Bail information scheme is particularly intolerable, given the problems of overcrowding, the harm done to people whose detention is unnecessary, and the costs to the Prison Service.

	February 2003 - Inspection of HMP Holloway
		In all, 25 per cent of women in prison are from fl and minority ethnic backgrounds, and 15 per cent are foreign nationals.
		HMP Downview and HMP Buckley Hall were both re-roled from men’s prisons to women’s prisons during 2001, causing disruption to the men who had been held there and concerns about the appropriateness of the facilities, and the level of staff training and experience in working with women.
		This was partly because a higher proportion than male prisoners said they were not looking for work as they would be looking after the home or family or had a long term illness or disability.

	HM Prison Eastwood Park: inspection 1998
		However the prison continues to labour under the handicap of having a number of cells that are below the minimum size allowed by the rules for single occupancy by prisoners, which, inevitably, poses the Governor with the problem of deciding what type of prisoner should occupy them.
		There have been some highly publicised instances of problems facing the Prison Service over the satisfactory placing of mothers and their babies from that part of the country, and, with the numbers of women in prison rising so inexorably, it is important that this subject is addressed as soon as possible.
		It was purpose-built by prisoner labour from Leyhill and Bristol Prisons and opened in May 1968 as a Junior Detention Centre for boys aged 14 to 17.
