Literacy changes lives

Working with offenders

Picture of a prisonHalf of the 72,000 prisoners in England and Wales have serious problems with reading, and four-fifths with writing, according to the Government. Both the prison and probation services are committed to taking action to reduce crime by improving education and training for offenders, those who are given community services and those released from prison. There are considerable challenges these services face to change their culture and practices in order to provide better support for those with poor basic skills.
