Offenders leaving prison who find a job in the community are between 6 and 9 percentage points less likely to reoffend than those who do not.<\/p>
Furthermore, community orders have a more positive impact on reoffending than short custodial sentences (3 percentage points lower over a one year follow-up period) and orders which include an unpaid work requirement are in line with this general trend.<\/p>
All of the above findings were taken into account when created our employment and education strategy which was launched on 24 May. This strategy aims to ensure that as many offenders as possible get the chance to partake in work both in prison and in the community.<\/p>"}

As the Secretary of State said in his speech at the Royal Society of Arts we want to reset and reinvigorate the system of incentives in our prisons so they work much more in the favour of those prisoners who play by the rules and who want to turn their lives around, whilst coming down harder on those who show no intention of doing so.<\/p>
<\/p>
The new Incentives and Earned Privilege (IEP) Policy Framework will exclude the use of IEP as a determining factor for access to family days for any prisoner, regardless of their gender. We expect to consult stakeholders on a draft IEP Policy Framework shortly, and to conclude the review of IEP after this consultation.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4137", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Rory Stewart"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Penrith and The Border"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Rory Stewart"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-06-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-06-07T13:23:42.23Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-06-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Prisoners' Incentives and Earned Privileges Scheme"} , "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, pursuant to the Answer of 19 February 2018 to Question 128402, when the review of the Incentives and Earned Privileges scheme will conclude; and what steps are being taken to ensure that that scheme is not used as a determining factor for access to family days for any prisoner regardless of their gender.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1491", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Kerry McCarthy"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bristol East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Kerry McCarthy"} ], "uin" : "149628"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/911072", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/911072/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
A legislative stage Impact Assessment detailing the Government\u2019s estimates of the impacts on a number of affected groups was published alongside the Civil Liability Bill on 20 March 2018. The Impact Assessment does not break down affected groups by sub-sets, and claimants are defined as a single group.<\/p>
This Impact Assessment covers both the measures being taken forward in the Civil Liability Bill, and the supplementary measures to increase the small claims limit for personal injury claims, and is available at https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/lbill/2017-2019/0090/whiplash-IA.pdf<\/a>.<\/p> The measures taken forward in the Civil Liability Bill will only cover those claimants and defendants who are using or being carried in a motor vehicle. Cyclists, pedestrians, motorcyclists and horse riders are excluded. The proposal to increase the small claims track to £5,000 for RTA related PI claims will however, apply to all road traffic accident claimants.<\/p>"}
