Recommendation 28
28
Paragraph: 123
Reoffending is lower in prisoners who participate in higher education.
Recommendation
Reoffending is lower in prisoners who participate in higher education. The Government must remove the “six-year rule” so that prisoners on long sentences can apply for higher education courses earlier in their sentence. This would give them motivation during their sentence and keep them focused on their potential employment opportunities following release.
