We are closing ageing and ineffective prisons and investing in a modern, efficient prison estate which rehabilitates criminals.

We are exploring how we can provide Governors and front line staff with greater freedom so they can innovate and find new and better ways of rehabilitating offenders. This will include looking for opportunities to reduce unnecessary bureaucracy.
