Proceeding contribution from Angela Watkinson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 July 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Penal System.


Penal System

Does the hon. Gentleman agree that not only the length of a prison sentence is important, but the person’s fitness to lead a productive and law-abiding life at the point of release—whenever that happens? There should be opportunities not simply to rehabilitate prisoners’ attitudes to life but to educate and train them so that they are ready for employment.
