Quarterly meeting notes from the Reducing Reoffending Third Sector Advisory Group (RR3)

14th June 2023

Why we need to pursue alternatives to renting foreign prison places

The news that the government will be tabling legislation allowing it to rent prison spaces abroad has caused considerable concern across the voluntary sector. There is widespread disappointment that these proposals are being considered when other measures to reduce the population pressures, such as early release schemes and diversion programmes, are not being considered with the same priority.
