Supporting information
Originally piloted at HMPYOI ISIS in 2014, PLAN A is an innovative programme that enables young people aged 15-21 engaged in serious, violent and/or gang affiliated offending to engage with three interventions concurrently whilst serving custodial sentences. People who have committed offences to develop empathy, learn about the impact of their offending on others and find ways of making amends or restoring relationships. 93% of the participants demonstrated an increased resolve not to reoffend after completing PLAN A, 96% of participants developed their self-esteem, and 96% of the participants increased their empathy with others. 73% of programme completers increased their participation in education, training and employment.
