The recent Probation Inspectorate report into post release supervision of short term prisoners in England and Wales has described provision as being “an expensive merry-go-round” which has led to “no tangible reduction to reoffending”.  

Taking this as a cue, for our featured article from our back catalogue, we return (perhaps surprisingly) to late 19th century England for an example of post release provision for women prisoners which reduced their subsequent offending.  Authored by Jo Turner and Helen Johnston, they reflect on how women released on conditional licence to a refuge, found opportunities to build a new life after release.
