The Justice Committee has found that around 80% of all offending is reoffending, indicating a serious issue with the current prison system's rehabilitation efforts. The committee report highlights overcrowding, staffing shortages, and poor infrastructure as major barriers to effective rehabilitation. It calls for improved training for prison staff, better access to education and purposeful activity, and urgent action on health and wellbeing services. Andy Slaughter emphasises that legislation alone will not deliver the necessary changes; instead, HMPPS must focus on delivering better conditions and services.
