title: The provision of racially aware healthcare services in prisons.
abstract: In a report published in 2005 the Inspectorate of Prisons explored the fact that many black and minority ethnic (BME) prisoners have poor perceptions of their treatment in all areas of prison life. It also attempted to identify barriers that still exist to delivering race equality in prisons and examined the extent to which prison healthcare departments are providing a racially aware health service that assesses and meets individual needs.
