How can services and therapeutic interventions, such as training, peer and family relationship support, and drug and addiction services, improve post-release outcomes? What impact does prison education have on the type of work secured after release?
Background
We want to provide decent, safe and secure accommodation that supports individuals in their rehabilitation. We want to reduce levels of violence and self-harm and develop the evidence on what structures and interventions can help improve outcomes for individuals in prison.
Next steps
We can be contacted at the following email address: evidence_partnerships@justice.gov.uk.
