Information Book for Disabled Prisoners - Inside Time

Introduction
Why a booklet?
There are many people in prisons throughout the UK who have
a form of disability. Some of these disabilities are instantly
recognisable, some are not as obvious, yet are
equally important. There has been little
information aimed at prisoners with
disabilities up until now, so we hope
you will find that this booklet gives
you the information you need or
points you in the right direction.
Before printing the booklet we
discussed it with groups of prisoners and
prison staff at several prisons, and with disability groups within
the community, to make sure the contents were useful and
correct. We decided that a booklet, which would be given to
you as soon as possible when you first came into prison, was
the best way to give you the information you might need.
If you do find any gaps or mistakes please contact us at the
address on the back cover and we will do our best to make
changes in any future editions.
Audio Tape
If reading is difficult for whatever reason
an audio tape is also available. Ask at
your Wing Office for a copy or speak to the
Disability Liaison Officer about how to get one.
