The Forward Trust (Forward) conducted a survey during August and September 2020 of offenders in custody receiving our services to find out about their experience of gambling in prison and in their life before custody, and the extent to which they perceived gambling as being harmful. The survey also explored offenders’ experience of lockdown in prison (when they have had limited access to family visits, structured activities or interventions outside their cell) and its impact on their wellbeing including their experience of gambling. The survey was the first of its kind to be conducted in English prisons and generated responses from 224 offenders, 9 per cent of Forward’s current clients.
