Prison Reform Trust
Less than 0.1% of prisoners released on temporary licence went on to re-offend
'Children are still suffering. The Government must address this now.'
Two people commit suicide in jail every week.
We can't keep locking up 85,000 people today knowing that hardly any of them will manage to find work and that around 50% of them will be back in again within a year of release. There are currently too many people in prison, and we have a system that seems to keep bringing them back there time and time again--that has to stop. Prison reform means fewer prisons and better prisoners.
