Director of the Prison Reform Trust, Juliet Lyon, said: «Slashing prison budgets while warehousing ever greater numbers overseen by
largely inexperienced staff has come at a dangerous cost.
We were told that retaining
staff members is a serious challenge, many workers are traumatized according to what we heard today by what they see on a daily basis while investigating child abuse, and as a result the office is
largely made up of
inexperienced case workers.
