Heard a story on Today programme this morning that I thought I'd share. This is one for anyone interested in the issue of reoffending rates in the UK. The government is about to launch a scheme which attempts to offer every short sentence prisoner a mentor, who will offer advice on how to avoid returning to crime. It's an interesting idea, despite the obvious sticking points of funding and supervising the scheme.
If you click here you'll be able to hear an interview with a former prisoner who benefited from just such a scheme.
