People in Contact with the Justice System
People in contact with the criminal justice system face significant health inequalities such as, mortality rates for prisoners are 50% higher than the rest of the population, people in and out of the criminal justice system are four times more likely to be smokers and 15% of prisoners had been homeless immediately prior to custody, compared to a lifetime experience of homelessness of 3.5% in the wider population.
The Rebalancing Act is a resource for public health, police and crime commissioners to support collaborative work to improve health, reduce reoffending and health inequalities in people in contact with the criminal justice system.
