unstar this property answer text <p>Families can play a significant role in supporting an offender; research has found that prisoners who reported improved family relationships over the course of their sentence were less likely to reoffend after release. Positive family relationships have been identified as a protective factor in the desistance from crime.</p><p>Lord Farmer was commissioned to undertake a review of family engagement, concentrating upon male prisoners, who make up the majority of the overall prison population and to also consider lessons that might be learnt from other aspects of the estate, such as the female and youth estates.</p><p>As such the Government is confident that although his report will not explicitly focus upon the female estate, any recommendations or observations that do arise will be taken into account by the female estate.</p><p><strong>We are developing a strategy to improve outcomes for female offenders in custody and in the community, including consideration of family ties, which we will be setting out in due course.</strong></p>
