Abstract
This toolkit is designed for prison governors and staff to improve the quality of food. It will help those involved in the preparation and production of food in women’s prisons to reflect on existing practices and to identify ways forward to improve the relationship between women and food in prison. The material in the toolkit is drawn from ESRC- and British Academy/Leverhulme-funded qualitative studies that focused on the role of food in women’s prisons. It has been devised in partnership with His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service and charitable organisations including Women in Prison, Food Behind Bars, Food Matters and PACT.
