IEP Flashcards
Incentives and earned privilege scheme - pros and cons
Where did I obtain the information in IEP
Prison reform trust report
How did the PRT say that IEP works
IEP promotes conforming behaviour through rational choice
What are the benefits of IEP
Ensures controlled environment, reduces self harm risk and improves staff-prisoner relationships
What are the issues with equal access according to PRT
More black people and more people mentally unwell are on basic level
How does IEP affect rehabilitation
reduced access to family visits or education when on basic level - reduces prisoners rehabilitation and therefore destroys idea of preventing reoffending with imprisonment
Why is using IEP as punishment bad?
Punitive application can lead to negative reaction and they have nothing to lose
Punishment should be applied using prison rules and not IEP, otherwise prisoners can be punished twice
What did PRT suggest that the prisons do?
Monitor those on basic level for long periods as they are at high risk of self harm
Train staff better- relationships with staff were much worse where there were higher numbers on basic level, need training on proper usage and benefits of IEP
