The following is a letter to insidetime, from issue July 2010
Just as dangerous
I have suffered with bulimia for the past ten years yet never really known how and why I developed this illness. Since coming to prison I found it got worse with the amount of high calorie food that we get.
I have been doing a choice of programmes including ‘Freedom’ and I am interested in doing a programme for eating disorders but I’ve been told they don’t currently run programmes for people with such disorders. I find this distressing because in my opinion any form of eating disorder is just as dangerous as alcohol and drug abuse. These problems need to be addressed, as people become very ill and sometimes die when suffering from such disorders.
There is a lot of help for drug users and alcoholics to get clean but people like me just have to deal with it ourselves. I think the issue should be raised - I desperately need and want help but can’t get it.
Any prisoner concerned about an eating disorder please write to us and we will forward the information that we hold on the subject.
