Proceeding contribution from Kerry McCarthy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 October 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Prison Estate.


Prison Estate

My right hon. Friend rightly stressed the importance of community sentences to reducing reoffending. Does he also agree that community and voluntary sector groups have a valuable role to play in working with prolific offenders and with young people at risk of offending, to ensure that the future prison population is kept down to a manageable level?
