uin	33787
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2022 answer text <p>We know that the economic and social cost of reoffending is approximately £18 billion per year. Evidence also shows that prison leavers who get a job within a year after release are up to nine percentage points less likely to reoffend compared to those who do not.</p><p>The proportion of prisoners released from custody employed at six months from their release rose by almost two thirds between April 2021 and March 2022.</p><p>We are committed to delivering a presumption in favour of offering offenders the chance to work in prison, on Release on Temporary Licence and on release, including by building stronger links with employers. We are on track to roll out Prison Employment Leads, Employment Hubs and Employment Advisory Boards across all 92 resettlement prisons by April 2023. We are also developing a £21m Employability Innovation Fund to enable more employers to work with prisons and deliver jobs on release.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 14/07/2022 14:38:45 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
