Prof Glynis Murphy presented the early results of the OFFSCA-ID research to Kent & Medway Partnership Trusts (November 2016).
The project involved following up men with learning disabilities who had been in prison. The research found the men were very unsupported when they left prison; they frequently had very little to do during the day; they were depressed and anxious to a significant degree; and frequently went back into restrictive settings. Much better support is needed for this vulnerable group.
