Professor Francis Pakes gives his enlightening thoughts on prisons and their impact upon reducing re-offending - https://vimeo.com/148992275 , comparing the UK / Dutch models with that of Norway.
His lecture is a must for those who have an interest in reducing re-offending and the notions of freedom vs custody and what he describes as the spiritual dimension and the normalisation and care of prisoners. If the UK were to establish similar approaches, the financial and human savings could be significant.
Reducing re-offending and social exclusion through innovative training; promoting increased understanding, personal change and skill sets necessary when working with marginalised groups, challenging behaviour and poor motivation. Promoting public debate surrounding the reduction of crime and re-offending, particularly former military veteran offenders. Engaging society and encouraging greater understanding and responsibility.
