Letter from Edward Argar MP, Minister of State for Justice, in response to the Hewell 2022-23 annual report.

The latest annual report from the Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) at HMP Hewell highlights the same key concerns as last year, evidencing little commitment from ministers to tackle systemic issues such as overcrowding or poor mental health provision. An over-reliance on short custodial sentences, and lengthy periods on remand due to failures of the court system, have continued to impact the prison's ability to provide rehabilitative activities, or necessary resettlement services, to reduce chances of reoffending and keep communities safe.
