We provide a range of rehabilitative interventions for prisoners, including education, employment and substance misuse support.

In 93 prisons, we have established dedicated in-prison roles to strengthen educational opportunities and prepare prisoners for work on release.

We have Incentivised Substance Free Living units in 85 prisons, supporting engagement with treatment in custody.
