Who's in who's out?

LINCOLN

When Charlie Brooker (right) reviewed mental health and prisons, he found that there were only two clinical studies of interventions in the world.

The new chair in mental health and criminal justice at Lincoln hopes to change this by founding an Institute for Criminal Justice and Health in England and Wales, with Paul Rogers of Glamorgan University.

"There are huge mental health problems in prisons. Prisoners should have access to the same services as people outside," said Professor Brooker.

"We want to be at the forefront of innovation and education in research in the field," he said.
