Welcome to The Worldwide Prison Health Research & Engagement Network (WEPHREN), an open access collaborative forum for everyone interested in prison health globally, aiming to improve the health of people in prison through the equitable development of the evidence base and through capacity building initiatives for health.
WEPHREN is funded and delivered by Public Health England, working with international partners such as the WHO and others. A Steering Committee made up from members of the WHO Health in Prisons Programme Steering Group and other experts in the field meet once a quarter to support PHE in this endeavour.
