Since the coalition came to power they have highlighted that mkaing rehabilitation of offenders more effective is going to be a key target for them. I have read through the declaration to parliament in December 2010 about breaking the cycle of reoffending and having effective punishments. This included introducing Working Prisons which means prisoners are working a full 40 hour week and gaining skills they can use when they are released. I have looked at case studies from HMP Manchester and HMP Ranby which have implemented the working prison scheme. I have also looked at examples of community schemes which help to rehabilitate offenders back into their community by giving something back.
I have also found a case study as evidence for my youth justice section which helps them to stop offending. I also researched the new ruling by the supreme court in California which said that juvinile offenders cannot be sentenced to life in prison. This highlights the difference between the two systems in that the UK system focusses more on stopping reoffending whilst the American system focusses on punishment.
