Prisoner resettlement is high on current political and policy
agendas. The high reconviction rates of ex-prisoners have been
acknowledged for many years but the rapidly rising prison
population has meant that more prisoners than ever before are
released. This together with the pressure this puts on to the
infrastructure of the prison estate and the publication of two
influential reports which highlighted the problems faced by
prisoners leaving prison has concentrated attention on attempts to
ensure that prisoners do not return to prison once released. The
resettlement of prisoners is now a priority policy area linked
directly to Government initiatives to reduce reoffending. The
renewed policy interest in prisoners resettlement forms the context
of this volume, which brings together current knowledge and
understanding about prisoners resettlement. The book draws on the
contributors extensive experience as researchers and practitioners
in the field and includes contributions from acknowledged experts.
Prisoner Resettlement provides a comprehensive review and analysis
of resettlement policy and practice in England and Wales in the
early part of the 21st century. In particular it: critically
reviews current policy, theory, practice and research on prisoners
resettlement explores practice issues through case studies of two
resettlement initiatives and an examination of accommodation
provision and voluntary sector involvement in prisoners
resettlement; and examines the particular issues raised by the
resettlement of different groups of prisoners including women,
minority ethnic groups, prolific and priority offenders and
high-risk offenders.
