| Extra Info | : | Lord Ramsbotham will draw from his vast experience as Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Prisons (1995-2001) and from his book Prisongate - the shocking state of Britain's Prisons and the need for visionary change (2003) to address the question of why the Prison System was neither structured nor organised to achieve its central aim: that of protecting the public by preventing re-offending. The very high reconviction rate demonstrates this failure. He will analyse the Prison management emphasis on process rather than outcomes and the inadequate provision of programmes designed to help prisoners to live law-abiding lives. He will also look at the apparent fixation on the 'bad' element of the prison population and the insufficient attention paid to the much larger 'sad' and 'mad' element, virtually all of whom return to society. He will suggest proposals for how change might be brought about stimulated by today's economic situation. Lord Ramsbotham was commissioned into the Regular Army in 1957and retired in 1993 in the rank of General. Between 1995 and 2001 he visited and/or inspected every prison in England, Wales and Northern Ireland as well as many others over the world. He was appointed an independent crossbench member of the House of Lords in May 1995, where he concentrates on all aspects of penal reform, including health and education. JAMES MACKEITH OBE, was an outstanding Forensic Psychiatrist, dedicated to Human Rights issues and to a collaboration with psychoanalysis.
