We want prisons to be places of hope and aspiration that propel offenders into employment, and ultimately help to reduce the number of victims of crime in the future. Our new education programme will improve the quality of prison education by ensuring that it meets the needs of prisoners, making it more likely to lead them to a positive employment outcome on release, and break the cycle of reoffending.<\/p>
