Lack of rehabilitative support for remand prisoners increases reoffending risk
Conclusion
Many remand prisoners are convicted but released straight from court without any rehabilitative support. This means they are more likely to reoffend. We welcome impending change as part of the Sentencing Bill; however, we are concerned this will not go far enough to slow the growth of the remand population. (Conclusion, Paragraph 101)
