Chart of the week: The rising tide of Covid-19 infections in our overcrowded prisons

 Chart of the week: The rising tide of Covid-19 infections in our overcrowded prisons Each week we present analysis of data in chart form to illustrate some key issues and invite discussion. This week, with new data showing that coronavirus infections rose more rapidly across the prisoner population in December than they did across the general population, Dr Miranda Davies and Eilís Keeble look at this worrying trend in context and consider the burden the pandemic is placing upon this already vulnerable population.
