For decades, researchers have sought to understand the impact of imprisonment; yet we have a limited understanding of the lived experience of cell-sharing. To address this gap in knowledge, this paper draws on 37 semi-structured interviews with imprisoned adult men in Northern Ireland. While demonstrating that, for most, cell-sharing was a negative experience, imbued with discomfort, unease and distress, a new conceptual framework is presented that seeks to understand the tactics people use to manage cell-sharing, influences on their choice of tactics and the potential repercussions of these tactics. Potential implications for policy and practice are also discussed.

A person's ability to make a decision, which can be time and decision specific, is usually referred to as their mental capacity. Traditional mental health law has enabled compulsory intervention, based on the criteria of 'mental disorder' and risk to self and/or others, regardless of whether the person has the ability to make the relevant decision/s about intervention. This is in contrast to most other aspects of health and social care where, if the person has ability to provide or refuse consent, then their decision is respected. In Northern Ireland a new approach has been developed which will create a single, comprehensive legislative framework to provide the necessary protections and safeguards for a decision to be made when a person is unable to do so themselves regardless of the cause of their impaired decision making ability. In this article the context of this alternative approach will be explored and some of the drivers for change will be identified. The new law itself will be outlined and some of the issues in the process of change will be discussed. Finally some possible future directions will be considered.

Abstract
This paper reports findings from a qualitative study undertaken with twenty-two young carers across Northern Ireland aged between eight and eighteen. It focuses on their experiences as informal care-givers in households where at least one family member was living with an illness and/or disability. While much has been written about the quantifiable aspects of informal care including the number of hours spent caring and the physical nature of caring tasks, this approach has tended to subsume individual experiences within the category 'young carer' and fails to differentiate between sub-populations of children and young people whose caring relationships may be very disparate. Whilst there has been a tendency to focus on the vulnerability of young carers, explanations as to why some experience greater physical, emotional and psycho-social difficulties than others are underdeveloped. It has been suggested that differential outcomes may be attributable to a capacity for resilience, which can lessen vulnerability. The study examined the protective and risk factors, which might help to promote or challenge the resilience of young carers. It was found that knowledge of and response to both the nature and trajectory of illness or disability contributed to young carers' capacity for resilience.

Since 2002 there has been a broad and extensive process to develop new legislation relating to mental health and mental capacity which is of interest as it represents a new departure in terms of such legislation. The Mental Capacity Act (Northern Ireland) 2016 legislates a fusion approach to mental capacity/mental health law. The provisions of the Act apply in general to people who are aged 16 and over and it goes beyond a proposed 'model law' of the fusion type in that it incorporates criminal justice provisions.This article provides an overview of the process of development of the Mental Capacity Act (Northern Ireland) 2016. The Act has its origins in the Recommendations of the Bamford Review of Mental Health and Learning Disability which are considered first. The publication of these recommendations was followed by an extended policy development process which is discussed next. Following an overview of the contents of the Act, key issues which emerged during the policy development and legislative processes are outlined.
