Prisoners are still able to leave their cells for between six and ten hours a day, but many educational classes have stopped and inmates are now only able to mix with others on the same landing. One prison officer told us he believes that restricting prisoners to their own landings has in fact strengthened some relationships between inmates and staff. Staff have run some alternative fitness activities on landings, to try to keep prisoners occupied while gym and activity spaces are now out of bounds.

Hundreds of thousands of inmates around the world who are deemed low risk and have pre-existing health conditions have been released in recent weeks in an attempt to prevent the disease's spread.
