“People from England’s most deprived areas ten times more likely to be in prison…
…A study of prison rates from Cardiff University’s Wales Governance Centre reveals massive disparities between England’s most deprived areas and its least deprived.
The report shows that in 2021, the imprisonment rate for the ten most deprived local authorities in England – based on where prisoners were living prior to being jailed – was ten times greater (307 prisoners per 100,000) than that of the ten least deprived local authorities in England (30 per 100,000).”*
Given the correlation between postcode and prison – we want to highlight the organisations that are helping people break the cycle, find their feet and overcome the challenges that led them to having a criminal record.
We also want to showcase the organisations doing great preventative work designed to help those most at risk of becoming involved in crime.
So here’s a shout out to the organisations who are already on the map – you can see them here: https://thecommongood.network/places/category/prison-leavers-at-risk-of-offending/
