In the face of Covid, many of the education and training boards, ETBs, delivering prison education services adapted to blended learning, including the use of an in-house television channel. The logical conclusion of this is that we should start to provide in-cell technology and computers for prisoners. That is exactly what has been done in Berwyn Prison in Wrexham. It promotes prisoner education, rehabilitation and reintegration and supports the mental health of prisoners, all of which are things the Government aims to do. Will it provide the budget to support provision of in-cell technology for prisoners?
