Age Scotland publish report on ageing well in prison
Age Scotland has published a report entitled: ‘Ageing Well in Prison – Evaluation Report’.
The evaluation is of a 7-week programme prisoners undertook at HMP Shotts. The programme covered evidence-based elements of wellbeing, and included tools for how to build healthy habits for long-term behaviour change.
Participants from HMP Shotts filled in a workbook throughout the programme, and this report includes prisoners’ reflections on participating in the programme.
