Answer from Hansard
The Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice (Alex Norris)
Education, skills and work are central to rehabilitation. We are modernising prison education and creating a joined-up system that supports prisoners in progressing from basic literacy to skills training and work experience. We are also tackling the root causes of offending through offender behaviour programmes and substance misuse treatment.
