Written Answers
Reoffenders
Asked by: Lord Hain (Labour - Life peer)
Friday 6th September 2024

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask His Majesty's Government what are the latest recidivism rates for released prisoners receiving benefits.

Answered by Lord Timpson - Minister of State (Ministry of Justice)

This Government is reducing reoffending by giving prison leavers the tools to move away from crime.

The latest available data for England and Wales shows that 37.0% of adults released from custody between April 2021 and March 2022 were proven to have reoffended within 12 months of release.

We do not currently measure reoffending rates for released prisoners receiving benefits, on training schemes for job placements or in work (although the latter will be featured in future publications of proven reoffending statistics, with the first due for release in October 2024).

We do, however, know from previous research that offenders who leave custody into employment are up to nine percentage points less likely to reoffend, and there is a similar percentage point reduction in reoffending for those who have engaged in any form of in-prison education.

Prisoners: Training
Asked by: Lord Hain (Labour - Life peer)
Friday 6th September 2024

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask His Majesty's Government what regulations govern training for prisoners while still in prison for job placements on release.

Answered by Lord Timpson - Minister of State (Ministry of Justice)

The prison education curriculum enables prisoners to gain the skills they need to get employment on release. In addition to English, maths and vocational training we offer bespoke, local training via the Dynamic Purchasing System. We are developing other training through our Future Skills Programme in a variety of sectors, such as construction and hospitality with employers guaranteeing interviews to prisoners on completion of the course. Prisoners may also undertake other work placements during their sentence which prepares them for work on release. Some are within the prison setting e.g. prison kitchens, but prisoners in open prisons may also go out to work in a variety of sectors under Release on Temporary Licence conditions. We also work with the Department for Education who fund a ‘skills bootcamp’ to deliver training in skills needed to work in the rail industry alongside continuing to develop the opportunities for serving prisoners to undertake apprenticeships.

Prison Education delivered by HMPPS is underpinned by the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009, the Prison Rules 1999 and the Prison Education and Libraries Framework. The delivery of apprenticeships to prisoners is governed by the Apprenticeships (Miscellaneous Provisions) Regulations 2017. All aspects of education, skills and work are inspected by Ofsted alongside HMIP.

Prisoners' Release: Universal Credit
Asked by: Lord Hain (Labour - Life peer)
Monday 16th September 2024

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask His Majesty's Government what regulations govern Universal Credit payments for prisoners immediately after their release.

Answered by Baroness Sherlock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions)

There are no specific regulations that govern the payment of Universal Credit (UC) to a prisoner upon release. They are treated like every other customer when they make a claim to UC. If they need urgent financial assistance when they have completed their online UC claim they can ask for a new claim advance payment which is offered to all new customers. There are provisions (Claims and Payments Regulations 2013) that allow prisoners to start to prepare their UC claim before their release, however the date of entitlement starts on the release date, and first payment is usually made around five weeks after the claim is made.
