"67 per cent of people released from prison go on to re-offend within two years. Government estimates that re-offending costs Britain £11 billion a year. Some 50,000 people are sent to prison for less than six months each year. This publication outlines how local organisations with local knowledge are best placed to work with the prison and probation services to reduce re-offending. Councils in particular have a key role to play with their experience and expertise in critical areas such as housing, education, employment, drug and alcohol treatment and family support."
