<p>We want our prisons to be places where staff and offenders feel safe and where
those in our care are challenged and supported to make the most effective use of their
time in custody to best prepare them for release.</p><p>This is why we have committed
to the introduction of the new Offender Management in Custody (OMiC) model will improve
the way in which we case manage offenders through their sentence and on to release.</p><p>We
have therefore invested £100m to boost the front line by 2,500 prison officers by
the end of December 2018. These additional officers will enable us to rollout the
OMiC model. The key worker model is currently being rolled out across the prison estate
which started with 11 ‘pathfinder’ prisons, 4 of which have had sufficient numbers
of new officers to commence their keyworker sessions.</p>
