Around 85,000 men and women are currently serving time in UK prisons, of whom
around 47,000 re-enter the community every year.

This report is focused on realising the employment potential of this often written off group of people; to protect more victims from the cycle of reoffending, improve the health of our labour market, and transform the prospects of prison leavers.

Recommendations include access to high-quality, tailored education and training, work experience, and through the gate support services.
