Keeping Families Together: Exploring Trends in Prisoner Communication

In this session, the panelists will explore the evolving landscape of technology and its impact on operational staff, incarcerated individuals, and the families affected by imprisonment. Drawing from evidence-based research, academic insights, and real-world experiences, we aim to shed light on the complexities, possibilities, and challenges inherent in this vital aspect of criminal justice and social welfare. We will also look at what the future landscape might be.

The panel session will include representatives from academia, the prison service and people with lived experience.
