answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2018 answer text <p>We collect data on the pre-imprisonment status employment status of individuals within 72 hours of them entering custody using the Basic Custody Screening Tool (BCS). For the period 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2018, these figures are set out in the table below:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>BCS Q B4.12: Were you working before you came to custody?</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Count of Assessments</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Percentage</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Employed</p></td><td><p>22177</p></td><td><p>21.77%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Unemployed</p></td><td><p>61586</p></td><td><p>60.44%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Unavailable for work</p></td><td><p>10797</p></td><td><p>10.60%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Retired</p></td><td><p>1168</p></td><td><p>1.15%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Self-employed</p></td><td><p>6161</p></td><td><p>6.05%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Count:</p></td><td><p>101889</p></td><td><p>100.00%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>It should be noted that these figures are compiled from information the prisoners have provided the assessor to enter into the BCS, and include not only prisoners sentenced in respect of a criminal offence, but also those received into custody on remand. Given the information is provided by the prisoners themselves and is not assessed, there will always be a margin of error in the figures. A proportion of prisoners will enter custody multiple times each year and may provide different answers to these questions over time.</p><p> </p><p>Reoffending is costing society approximately £15 billion a year. Effective rehabilitation needs prisoners to be willing to commit to change, take advice, learn new skills and take opportunities to work. For those individuals willing to engage, the prison system must deliver. That is why we launched the Education and Employment strategy to create a system where each prisoner is set on a path to employment from the outset. We are empowering governors to commission education provision that leads to work, we are engaging with employers to take on ex-prisoners via the New Futures Network (NFN) and have consulted on proposals to increase the opportunities available to prisoners to gain experience in real workplaces through ROTL.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 03/12/2018 16:42:17 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2018 answer text <p>There is no specific definition of a petty offence. As set out in the Answer of 29 October 2018, the Secretary of State was using the phrase petty offender in accordance with its ordinary meaning, namely an offender who commits offences which are not considered serious when compared with some other offences. The seriousness of an offence is determined by two main parameters; the culpability of the offender and the harm caused or risked being caused by the offence.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 06/11/2018 17:31:59 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
