While a prisoner is in prison they will be offered the chance to participate in education and training schemes aimed at helping them towards a useful and law-abiding life when they are released. In addition to this, assistance can be given with re-settlement into the community, including finding accommodation.
As well as explaining the resources available for prisoners to help them prepare for release, this section also deals with how prisoners qualify for parole and how the probation service works. Initiatives such as electronic tagging under the Home Detention Curfew scheme and day release under the Release on Temporary Licence Scheme are also featured in this section.
