  1. Read the text “Preparation for release”

The Prison Services in England, Wales and Scotland have a duty to prepare prisoners for release. Planning for safe release begins at the start of an offender’s sentence and includes education and getting work experience. It is directed at equipping prisoners to fit back into society to cope with life without re-offending.

Full time education of 15 hours a week is compulsory for young offenders below school leaving age. For older offenders it is voluntary. Some prisoners study for public examinations including the Open University. Physical education is voluntary for adult offenders, but compulsory for young offenders. Practically all prisons have physical education facilities. In-mates sometimes compete against teams in local community.

Prison industries aim to give work and experience which will assist prisoners when released. At the same time it reduces the cost of the prison system. The main industries are clothing and textile manufacture, engineering, woodwork, farming, etc.

Pre-release programs

Pre-release programs enable some long-term prisoners to spend their last six months before release in special hostels attached to prisons. The aim is to help them re-adapt to society. The prisoners work in the outside community and return to the hostel every evening. Weekend leave allows them to renew ties with their families. All this is designed to help the inmates make the transition from prison to community.

Aftercare

Professional social work support is given to offenders following their release to help them adjust on their return to society. All young offenders and all adult offenders sentenced to 12 months imprisonment and more are supervised on release by probation service – or, in the case of young offenders – by local authority social services department. Aftercare programs are designed to protect public safety by monitoring ex-prisoners and help them integrate into the community while making sure they receive needed treatment and services. Aftercare programs are effective in reducing juvenile recidivism.
