Prisoners: Rehabilitation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps his Department is taking to improve prisoner rehabilitation.
Answered by Jake Richards
We provide a range of rehabilitative interventions for prisoners, including education, employment and substance misuse support.
In 93 prisons, we have established dedicated in-prison roles to strengthen educational opportunities and prepare prisoners for work on release.
We have Incentivised Substance Free Living units in 85 prisons, supporting engagement with treatment in custody.
