A needs assessment protocol which examines 11 problem areas was devised. This was administered to 277 prisoners on remand at Brixton Prison. We found high levels of unmet need for housing, treatment of substance abuse and neurotic symptoms. Twenty-nine per cent were transferred to hospital under the provisions of the Mental Health Act and about a third of those at liberty to do so complied with a discharge plan. Diversion and discharge planning can potentially meet the unmet needs of remand prisoners.
设计了一个需求评估方案，该方案对11个问题领域进行了调查。该方案应用于布里克斯顿监狱候审的277名囚犯。我们发现，在住房、药物滥用治疗和神经症症状方面，未得到满足的需求程度很高。29%的人根据《精神健康法》被送往医院，其中约三分之一有条件这样做的人遵守了出院计划。分流和出院计划有可能满足候审囚犯未得到满足的需求。
