This evaluation shows that there are potential opportunities to help tackle health inequalities, primarily through addressing the mental health and wellbeing of the families of people in prison. By focusing on mental health, the aim is that there is a greater chance of raised self esteem and improved ability to engage more fully with society, services and ideally, with employment. This might have the knock on effect of raising people out of poverty and consequently, even reduce the future risk of crime of their partner or children.
