AnnotationTwo main questions are addressed in this report. First, given the scale and scope of statutory provision for people in prison and on release, what is the need for, and what are the results of, charitable activity? Second, what is the need for charitable funding? This report tries to answer these questions by exploring the profile of people in prison and the role and impact of the Prison and Probation Service. It provides an overview of the activities and results of charitable activity supporting prisoners and their families during and after custody. The research found that charities make a significant impact achieving one or more of the following: improved rehabilitation, reducing the likelihood of re-offending; improved quality of life for people in custody and their families; improved public policy and statutory provision; and improved ability of charities to tackle the needs of prisoners and their families, for example through enhanced relationships between charities and prisons.
