Prisons: Pastoral Care
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many prisoners have access to faith-based support services.
Answered by Jake Richards
All prisoners in England and Wales have access to faith-based and pastoral support services. His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service is required to make chaplaincy and faith provision available to prisoners of all faiths and beliefs, as well as to those who do not identify with a particular faith. This support is available on request in every establishment.
