<p>The Government is committed to making prisons work, so that offenders come out
of prison better able to find work and support their families, and less likely to
reoffend.</p><p> </p><p>Governors are responsible for deciding whether social enterprise
opportunities are the best option for offenders in their prisons. We have taken steps
to empower governors so they have freedom over internal levers and polices to increase
employment opportunities, and we will hold them to account for the outcomes achieved.
We will also give governors control of education budgets so they are able to choose
their education provider. Education providers in YOIs also have contracted responsibilities
to work alongside Governors to identify suitable education, training and employment
pathways and to work with organisations in communities to realise opportunities for
young people leaving custody.</p>
