Committees

Prisons in Wales

Inquiry

The Committee invites written submissions addressing any or all of the following areas: 

  • How has the situation facing prisoners and prison staff in Wales changed since 2019 when our predecessor Committee last reported? 
  • What are the implications for Wales of the Prison Strategy White Paper?
  • How does a lack of Wales-only data impact upon the understanding of prison provisions in Wales? 
  • Is the Welsh prison estate fit for purpose in terms of living conditions, crowding and safety in prisons? 
  • Is the Welsh prison estate fit for purpose in terms of the provision of education and rehabilitation facilities for Welsh prisoners, and Welsh language facilities? 
  • How big of a problem is contraband such as weapons and drugs in Welsh prisons and how can the UK Government reduce it? 
  • Is there sufficient co-operation and co-ordination between non-devolved and devolved bodies to support Welsh prisoners?  

This inquiry is no longer accepting evidence

The deadline for submissions was Friday 13 October 2023.
