Preparing prisoners for release

Following the two recent reports on resettlement of prisoners HMI Prisons (March 2023) and Public Accounts Committee (May 2023), Charlie Taylor Chief Inspector of Prisons has published a blog in which he describes OMIC as a "laudable idea" that has to date been a "huge failure" particularly attributing this to the staffing crisis and continuing pressure on the prison population. Three interesting examples of positive practice are included in the blog.
