About
Ministry of Justice awarded a contract to University of Leicester for research on the impact evaluation of digital products in prisons.
The primary aim was to robustly assess benefits and unintended outcomes from digital technology already operating in a prison, informing future rollout elsewhere in the prison estate.
Due to the inability to conduct a randomised control trial, the project focused on developing a robust methodology to measure impacts.
The contract value was £97,850.
