Preventing Reoffending Project (PRP)
'The PRP project offers one to one mentoring for offenders serving sentences of twelve months or under. Key support workers offer assistance to offenders within the pathways that are identified as encouraging re-Offending. These are, lack of aspirations, children and families, accommodation, health, alcohol and drugs. Key support workers will assist the offender towards a position whereby they can secure and sustain employment with the overall aim of reducing employment rates, thus reducing the financial burden on the economy, reducing reoffending and increasing welfare provision.'
It seems that the scheme is having some positive results. Good! Punish then rehabilitate - that's the way to do it!
An 80% drop in short term re-offending is spot on!
