The Provision PIPE offers support both for people in prison who struggle to participate in standard interventions, and those who are engaged in interventions. People in the pre-intervention phase will be offered the necessary preparation and support to enable them to engage in interventions. Those who are treatment ready may engage with the Pathways Treatment Service or be engaged in Offending Behaviour Programmes within the establishment, whilst resident on the Provision PIPE.

The London Pathways Unit (LPU) at HMP Brixton is a service for individuals with a history of longstanding emotional and relationship difficulties – sometimes called personality difficulties – that are linked to their offending. The service aims to support individuals who are ‘stuck’ in their sentence, or have been recalled, to progress safely towards release or open conditions. The LPU is for Category C individuals who meet OPD Pathway criteria. The service is open to determinate and indeterminate sentenced individuals who are within two years of release, progression to open conditions, or parole, and where completion of treatment on the LPU is likely to support a progressive move. The LPU has its own specially trained prison officers and clinical staff, who work alongside each other to build meaningful relationships with service users, developing an understanding of each individual’s strengths, needs and difficulties. Each service user is allocated a keyworker (personal officer) and a clinician (psychological therapist, clinical practitioner or occupational therapist) who form their ‘keywork team’, and individualised treatment plans are developed based on their outstanding treatment needs. Regular individual keywork sessions are central to the work, alongside psychologically-informed groups and activities. The LPU is a residential unit which is integrated into the wider prison, and service users have access to the employment, training and education opportunities offered by HMP Brixton.
