"Commenting on the HM Chief Inspector of Prisons annual report 2014-15, Juliet Lyon, Director of the Prison Reform Trust, said:
'No
mystery that violence, self-harm and suicide rise when you overcrowd
prisons, reduce staff by almost one third, cut time out of cell and
purposeful activity. The backdrop is a more punitive climate, increased
injustice and uncertainty which have sucked hope out of the system for
prisoners and staff. Solutions lie in good strong leadership from the
new Secretary of State through to prison governors, a commitment to
treat people in prison with humanity and respect and a determination to
make prison an effective place of last resort.'"
