Neurodiversity in Prisons


 

Prison education and support services are in a state of change with reading differences, such as dyslexia, starting to be identified. As a result, the number of inmates with special educational needs is becoming clearer. Ongoing research indicates that 60% of inmates have weak literacy skills, 20% potentially being functionally illiterate.


Time in prison is about improvement and rehabilitation. However, for those with literary differences enjoying a library book, access educational materials, or read letters is harder. This increases a risk of reoffence on release.

Here at Scanning Pens, we have found the potential of our reading aids in supporting independence and ensuring equality in the access to education, therefore aiding rehabilitation.

Ensuring Safety and Security


 

It was important to provide the relevant evidence that our pens are safe to use within the prison environment. Standard fire risk assessments were carried out by the CQC in the UK, along with necessary security measures to ensure compliance. As a result, a fire health & safety document was created, which outlines everything in more detail.

Key points:

  • The ReaderPen Secure cannot back charge mobile phones
  • The ReaderPen Secure does not have removable batteries
  • The ReaderPen Secure does not use Wi-Fi
  • The ReaderPen Secure does not have built-in memory or storage
