Recommendation 38
38
There is a lack of data about the impact of education and training in prisons.
Conclusion
There is a lack of data about the impact of education and training in prisons. It is important that there is in-depth analysis on what kind of programmes are most effective, and on longer-term outcomes. The Ministry of Justice must carry out a longitudinal study of prisoner destination data, comparing the prisoner outcomes of those who have received prison education with those that have not. This information should be shared with education providers, which would allow them to refine their education offer to best support the vocations and careers that former prisoners are pursuing. (Paragraph 157) 48 Not just another brick in the wall: why prisoners need an education to climb the ladder of opportunity
