This question was answered on 13th November 2017
Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs) are required to deliver Through-the-Gate services to female prisoners to help them resettle in the community. These should be tailored to the particular needs of offenders.
We recognise that the current delivery of Through-the-Gate services is, in some areas, falling short of our expectations. We are working with providers to improve services and considering further action that we might take.
