Prison education programmes
Quality prison education programmes
Education and training is an essential component of rehabilitation. Our prison programmes offer offenders the best chance of building a more positive future upon release by delivering short courses with long lasting impacts. Research by the Ministry of Justice found that people who had participated in education whilst in prison were significantly less likely to reoffend within 12 months of release than those who had not by 7.5% points.
With one of the highest prison populations in Europe, we are keen to work with commissioners to build education programmes that show real reduction in reoffending, and positive pathways to employment for ex-offenders in the UK.
