61% of ex-prisoners are re-convicted within two years of release.
Research has found that prisoners who do not take part in education are
three times more likely to re-offend.
It costs an average of £37,305 to keep a person in prison for one year.
The number of prisoners in England and Wales has increased by 25,000 in the last decade.
In addition, there is the personal cost of re-offending to victims, the victims’ families, the wider community and to ex-prisoners and their families.
