Resettlement

Improving resettlement to reduce repeat offending

Ensuring that prison leavers have the foundations they need to turn their backs on crime and have a clear understanding of the consequences if they fail to do so. Providing support for people on probation upon release from prison and resettling them in the community. Establishing short sentence functions that aim to reduce reconviction rates, in conjunction with ensuring prison leavers have somewhere to live, a job, and access to treatment for substance misuse to reduce repeat offending.
