We have also introduced the New Futures Network (NFN), which brokers partnerships between prisons and employers in England and Wales, and a new ROTL framework to increase the opportunities available for prisoners to gain experience in real workplaces.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4106", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South Swindon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Robert Buckland"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-06-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-06-04T13:12:43.477Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-05-29", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Offenders: Employment"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps he is taking to increase employment opportunities for prisoners after release.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4474", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Kevin Hollinrake"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Thirsk and Malton"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Kevin Hollinrake"} ], "uin" : "911125"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1128476", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1128476/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government publishes its Safety in Custody National Statistics bulletin on a quarterly basis, which covers deaths, self-harm and assaults in prison custody in England and Wales.<\/p>

<\/p>

The latest publication is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/safety-in-custody-quarterly-update-to-december-2018<\/a>. Information about incidents of self-harm up to December 2018 can be found by selecting table 2.13<\/strong> in the \u2018Self-harm in prison custody 2000 to 2018\u2019 link. The table is set out by prison and year, and monthly breakdowns can be found by using the \u2018+\u2019 and \u2018-\u2018 functions at the top of the table.<\/p>

<\/p>

We are taking steps to reduce self-harm and self-inflicted death levels by rolling out improved suicide and self-harm training for new and existing staff. Over 25,000 staff have received some training and over 14,000 have received training in all six modules.<\/p>

<\/p>

Violence in prisons remains unacceptably high but there are early signs that we are making progress. Eight of the jails involved in the \u201810 Prisons Project\u2019 saw falls in the final quarter of 2018 \u2013 four of them by more than 25% - while the number of assaults across the estate reduced by 11%.<\/p>

On reception into custody prisoners are asked if they receive benefits. The total number of occasions prisoners confirmed they were in receipt of welfare payments prior to imprisonment in 2018 was 41,620.<\/p>

<\/p>

Prisoners are also asked if they were working before they came to custody on reception. The total number of occasions prisoners answered that they were unemployed to this question in 2018 was 63,683.<\/p>

We know that getting a steady job on release can be a huge part of turning offenders away from a life of crime, helping to prevent future victims and cutting the annual £15 billion cost of reoffending.<\/p>
