Keep Prisons Single Sex

Keep Prisons Single Sex (KPSS) is a campaign group that was founded in 2020 to advocate for the safety of women in prison. They argue that women are more likely to be victims of violence, sexual assault, and exploitation in mixed-sex prisons. They also argue that mixed-sex prisons do not meet the specific needs of women, such as their need for privacy and dignity.

KPSS has been successful in raising awareness of the issue of mixed-sex prisons, and they have had some success in influencing policy. In 2021, the Scottish government announced that it would be reviewing its policy on mixed-sex prisons. KPSS is also working with the Ministry of Justice in England and Wales to try to secure a change in policy.

KPSS is a small but dedicated group of people who are passionate about protecting the rights of women in prison. They are working hard to make sure that women in prison are safe and that their needs are met.

They have two websites which interlink for both countries, Keep Prisons Single Sex UK and Keep Prisons Single Sex USA
