DESCRIPTION:The Prison Reform Trust (PRT) is an independent UK charity wo
 rking to create a just\, humane and effective penal system.\nBuilding Fu
 tures – PRT’s six-year programme funded by the National Lottery Communit
 y Fund – has explored the experiences of people serving long prison sent
 ences. The programme defines its long-term cohort as men expected to spe
 nd ten or more years in prison\, and women expected to serve eight years
  or more.\nAt its heart\, Building Futures amplifies the voices of those
  living long-term imprisonment\, providing space for them to advocate fo
 r themselves\, highlight the human cost of ever-lengthening sentences\, 
 and influence change from within the system. Through consultation\, advo
 cacy and research\, the programme has worked alongside people with direc
 t experience of long-term imprisonment to demonstrate its true impact.\n
 \nAs Building Futures draws to a close\, we look forward to sharing the 
 key insights\, lessons\, and collaborative approaches developed througho
 ut the programme – with contributions from those directly affected\, as 
 well as from practitioners and policymakers.\n\nUniversity of Manchester
  Collaboration\nThis event is proudly supported by the University of Man
 chester\, whose academics have policy and research priorities closely al
