The final report in the series No One Knows was published in 2008. It includes the results of interviews with prisoners with learning disabilities. The prisoners reported problems in filling in forms so that they missed out on visits, difficulty gaining access to prison services, and problems in making themselves understood. They were also more likely than the control group to be subject to control and restraint and to be segregated. The Report also makes a number of recommendations, including awareness training and provision of special need provisions in prison education.
