What is a rehabilitative culture within prison, and what role can food play in achieving this?
‘Rehabilitative culture’ is an aspiration for many prisons in the UK. It is one where all aspects of the prison culture support rehabilitation, creating an environment that gives people the opportunity to change; addresses the reasons why they commit crime; and helps them have a better way of living, through thinking and acting differently. This is a mindset that prioritizes rehabilitation over punishment, recognising how this can lead to lasting positive outcomes for those in prison and society as a whole.
But how can food play a crucial role in fostering a rehabilitative environment in prisons? The quality, nutritional value, and overall experience of food within prisons can significantly impact the rehabilitation process. From promoting mental and physical well-being, to fostering a sense of dignity and respect, to providing a sense of autonomy – better prison food is integral to rehabilitative culture.
Joined by an expert panel of speakers working within prison reform and research, we’ll be shining a light on an area often left undiscussed – food systems within UK prisons, how we work towards improving them, and why it’s necessary. With presentations and discussions from Victoria Williams (Food Matters), Hindpal Singh Bhui (HM’s Inspectorate of Prisons), Sarah Lewis (Penal Reform Solutions), and Yvonne Thomas (The Clink Chairty), we’ll be covering:
- What a rehabilitative culture is: gain a clear understanding of the principles and practices that underpin a rehabilitative approach within the prison system
- Examples of rehabilitative culture in UK prisons: hear first-hand experiences of those working towards building a rehabilitative culture in our prisons
- The current state of food systems in UK prisons: learn about the findings from our ‘Food Matters in Prisons’ report which examines the state of play in UK food systems, written by those working within UK prisons
- The changes that can be made to prison food systems: we examine the existing opportunities for improvement and discuss actionable steps and for enhancing the quality, accessibility, and impact of food systems within prisons.
Whether you’re a policymaker, advocate, practitioner, or simply passionate about food and criminal justice reform, this webinar offers valuable insights into the criminal justice system, and strategies for creating a more humane and effective prison system using food.
