Call for written evidence
The public consultation on sex in prison has now closed.
The Commission on Sex in Prison was keen to hear from prisoners, former prisoners, prison staff, statutory and voluntary sector agencies who work in prisons or secure settings, as well as organisations that focus on sexual health, sexual development or sexual violence and abuse.
The Commission focused on adults (2013) and children in prison (2014).
