Proceeding contribution from Tony Baldry (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 December 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Offender Management Bill.


Offender Management Bill

Is it not a matter of concern, however, that some two thirds of prisoners reoffend? Should there not be a change of mindset? When in prison, the loss of freedom is the punishment. Should we not do more in our handling of problems such as solvent abuse in prison, and to improve and enhance literacy, education and training while people are in prison, so that they leave with more skills than when they entered and we can get the reoffending rate down? A two-thirds reoffending rate is a matter of grave concern to everyone.
