A restaurant run by inmates in jail is helping to stop a return to prison, say researchers.
Among the wider prison population, levels of reoffending are even higher.
For the past five years, prisoners have been trained in preparing and serving food, while they serve their sentences. It also helps prisoners to get City and Guilds vocational qualifications and to link them with employers in restaurants, hotels and the hospitality industry. "Educating prisoners is not a reward for committing a crime - it's about preventing further crime from being committed," he said.Mr Moore says that too often people leave prison with"no friends, no jobs and no money", creating conditions that are ripe for an ex-offender to go back to crime.
