Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what rehabilitation programmes are provided for people serving prison sentences of 12 months or less.

Prisons should be places of safety and reform. We are determined to make prisons work, so that offenders come out of prison better able to find work and support their families, and less likely to reoffend.

Those serving sentences of under 12 months in custody have access to education; work; offending behaviour programmes; health services, including help with drugs or alcohol problems; and resettlement support in custody and into the community. Our reforms to probation services mean that, for the first time in recent history, they also receive statutory support and supervision on release.
