Petition Fund direct employment routes for prisoners upon release
Fund direct routes into employment for prisoners after release in order to reduce reoffending rates and increase national cohesion. The introduction of job-related facilities in prisons with partnered businesses could lead to direct employment routes for prisoners upon release.
More details
A larger workforce can support economic growth. Research shows that a lack of employment has been a leading factor for higher reoffending rates; decreasing community cohesion. Introducing these direct routes into employment could increase the active workforce and community cohesion, which can work to break social constructs.
