Which campaign addresses the mental health needs of vulnerable people in the prison system?

• A. Care not Custody
• B. End Friday Releases
• C. Books for Prisoners
• D. Ban the Box

Answer: (A)

Focusing on health-based responses for people in the prison system who have mental health needs is what this item is testing. Care not Custody emphasizes treating vulnerability with care rather than punishment, advocating for mental health assessments, access to appropriate healthcare, and diversion to community or health services instead of unnecessary imprisonment. It also pushes for prisons to have solid mental health support and for pathways to connect inmates with community care, recognizing that proper treatment can reduce harm and support rehabilitation.

The other campaigns address different issues: one is about when someone should be released, another about providing books to prisoners, and another about removing the criminal history question on job applications. None of these focus on addressing mental health care or vulnerability inside the prison system. That makes Care not Custody the best fit for this question.
