“…The health of older prisoners is a matter of concern -research indicates that you age 10 years faster in prison (Uzoaba, 1998) which can compound the problems that may be associated with ageing. The provision of health and social care do not match those for older people outside of the prison system (Williams, 2010). Similarly, older prisoners present with the highest rates of many disorders in comparison to the overall prison population (Fazel, Baillargeon, 2011) and have more complex health needs than their aged-matched counterparts in the community, with approximately 85 per cent of older prisoners having one or more major illnesses (Fazel et al, 2001).…”

Inconsistent interpretation of equivalence, the prevailing security drive, increasing numbers and health complexities of prisoners and fiscal austerity threaten the implementation of equivalence in English prisons. This research calls for new guidance on how to interpret and implement equivalence, along with measures to educate prison governors and staff on the prison rehabilitation value, ensure greater investment in prison health and consider alternatives to imprisonment to future-proof the principle of equivalence in the English prison system.
