Using qualitative methods, my research will investigate the variegated, deepening impact of austerity on prisoner health and wellbeing.

To date, no qualitative studies have focused on understanding the effects of austerity on prisoner health and wellbeing. The evidence is dominated by quantitative studies that make associations between fiscal consolidation and prison instability.

Responding to this omission, my research will deliver four interdisciplinary work programmes, covering international, national, regional, and individual domains that will collectively explore the current disconnect between policy and practice.

This research project is supported by 11 key organisations involved with prison health in England.
