Rehabilitating prisoners

Many people believe that the training and therapy

of offenders should be a large part of any country’s prison system. Research
shows that many prisoners who have had little or no training and therapy go on
to commit more crimes after they get out of prison. (1) ___ In some prisons in
the UK, prisoners have to participate in educational programmes. Many have left
school with no basic qualifications, so the focus is on reading, writing and basic
maths. Once prisoners have these basic skills, they can take courses in subjects
like sewing, carpentry, IT, plumbing, and gardening. (2) ___ Education and
training get prisoners ready for jobs on the outside.

Prisoners are also encouraged to take up hobbies and activities which help
express their creativity and improve their emotional health. Creative writing
courses are popular. (3) ___ Art and crafts are also popular, and sometimes
prisoners discover hidden talents. Prison is a tough place and activities like
these can help them overcome the challenges of
life in there.

Prisoners can also work in prison. Jobs include working in the kitchen, the
laundry, the library and sometimes even on a farm. In some prisons, offenders
work as sales assistants selling products over the phone to customers. (4) ___
They help them prepare for life outside prison.
