Race & Diversity

The Prison Service is committed to promoting equality of opportunity in all its work. The Service operates in an increasingly diverse society, and this is reflected in the staff we employ and the prisoners in our care. Tackling discrimination of any kind is one of the key priorities for the Service, and forming part of the wider decency agenda, which is essential for the running of a safe and successful Prison Service.


The Director General, Phil Wheatley has stated his continuing commitment to the elimination of discrimination:


“Fairness in prison implies consistency and certainty. In a diverse society, this can only be achieved if all are treated fairly and equally, no matter what their colour, race, religion, sexual orientation or disability. I am clear that prisons with the best relationships will be the most secure, orderly and safe, for prisons, staff and visitors.”
