 Has progress been made since the Corston Report?
It鈥檚 been 15 months since Baroness Corston鈥檚 review of Vulnerable Women in the Criminal Justice System was published. The Corston Report recommended a number of proposals to keep non violent women out of prison and rehabilitate them in the community. It also recommended听serious and dangerous offenders听be housed in smaller prisons. However, figures released this month reveal the women鈥檚 prison population reached a record high of 4,505 in June this year. So what recommendations has the government met and how far is it actually willing to go? Jenni is joined by the report author Baroness Corston and Juliet Lyon from the Prison Reform Trust.
