answer text <p>One year ago, our Education and Employment Strategy set out plans to transform the way prisoners develop the skills they need to secure employment on release.</p><p>Since then, we have overhauled the prison education system through implementing new contracts and a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). These allow governors to commission skills-based training and education that meets the needs of the local labour market.</p><p>We have also introduced the New Futures Network (NFN), which brokers partnerships between prisons and employers in England and Wales, and a new ROTL framework to increase the opportunities available for prisoners to gain experience in real workplaces.</p> more like this

answer text <p>On reception into custody prisoners are asked if they receive benefits. The total number of occasions prisoners confirmed they were in receipt of welfare payments prior to imprisonment in 2018 was 41,620.</p><p> </p><p>Prisoners are also asked if they were working before they came to custody on reception. The total number of occasions prisoners answered that they were unemployed to this question in 2018 was 63,683.</p><p> </p><p>We know that getting a steady job on release can be a huge part of turning offenders away from a life of crime, helping to prevent future victims and cutting the annual £15 billion cost of reoffending.</p><p> </p><p>That is why we launched the Education and Employment Strategy last year, which works with businesses to offer a wide range of work experience opportunities to equip offenders with the self-discipline, skills and qualifications they need.</p> more like this
