Bullying can be a problem within a prisoner community,
and can have serious consequences for its victims. It may cause its
victims to withdraw from prison routines and undermine any work to
address their own offending behaviour.
At its worst bullying may lead to prisoners' self-harming or attempting
suicide. Others may try to escape or fail to return from temporary
release.
HMP Altcourse aims to challenge the bully whilst offering support
and help to the victim.
