The requested information could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.

A small proportion of prisoners are released from non-resettlement prisons every year. Enhanced Through The Gate services are available to those prisoners via Community Rehabilitation Company rate cards. We are investing an additional £22m per annum over the remaining life of the CRC contracts to ensure that CRCs deliver an enhanced Through The Gate service to offenders leaving prison. This will mean approximately 500 more staff working with offenders in prison.
