COVID-19 is a particular challenge within the prison setting given the vulnerable nature of the population (in terms of emotional dysregulation, mental health difficulties, rates of suicide, self harm and violence); the characteristics of individuals (e.g. high rates of BAME) and the physical conditions (e.g. difficulties of introducing social distancing without the potential for exclusion). This research uses a carefully selected subgroup (those accessing the Offender Personality Disorder Pathway across 34 prison sites) as a case study from which to generalise across the prison context. The combination of quantitative methods (using linear mixed modelling to examine extensive and existing data) and qualitative research (based on interviews with a purposive sample) will enable this research to determine a) the impacts of prison restrictions implemented in response to COVID-19 and the subsequent easing of these on psychological and behavioral outcomes and b) to identify key factors associated with differences in response to restrictions / easing. Understanding and learning from the impact of COVID-19 and the resultant management responses within prisons is essential in order to identify how to build resilience in readiness for further restrictive measures which may be needed during subsequent 'outbreak waves'. Such findings will also have long term implications with regard to effective practices in the context of a return to standard operating status which might enhance the existing prison regime. Finally, this research will also allow us to examine whether certain groups (e.g. ethnic groups) experience a disproportionate impact in prison, as occurs in the wider/non-prison community.

2019冠状病毒病在监狱环境中是一个特别的挑战，因为人口的脆弱性（在情绪失调、心理健康困难、自杀率、自我伤害和暴力方面）;个人的特点（例如BAME的高发生率）和身体条件（例如在没有排斥可能的情况下引入社交距离的困难）。这项研究使用了一个精心挑选的亚组（那些访问罪犯人格障碍途径在34个监狱网站）作为一个案例研究，从中概括整个监狱环境。定量方法的结合（使用线性混合模型来检查广泛的和现有的数据）和定性研究（基于对有目的样本的访谈）将使本研究能够确定a）为应对COVID-19而实施的监狱限制以及随后放松这些限制对心理和行为结果的影响，以及B）确定与限制/放宽措施的反应差异相关的关键因素。了解和学习COVID-19的影响以及由此产生的监狱管理应对措施至关重要，以确定如何建立复原力，为随后的“疫情浪潮”可能需要的进一步限制措施做好准备。这些调查结果还将对恢复标准运作状态的有效做法产生长期影响，这可能会加强现有的监狱制度。最后，这项研究还将使我们能够研究某些群体（例如族裔群体）是否在监狱中受到不成比例的影响，就像在更广泛的/非监狱社区中发生的那样。
