Justice Committee: Rehabilitation and resettlement: ending the cycle of reoffending

Committee hears from witnesses

The Justice Committee is gathering oral evidence on how to break the cycle of reoffending through better rehabilitation and resettlement of prisoners. The inquiry examines what support helps released offenders reintegrate into work and housing, and what systemic changes could reduce the proportion who return to crime.

Reoffending costs the criminal justice system billions annually and drives prison overcrowding. How effectively the state rehabilitates prisoners directly affects public safety, employment prospects for ex-offenders, and fiscal pressure on courts and prisons. Recommendations from this inquiry will shape sentencing policy and post-release support for years.
