The below Parliamentary question was asked by Andy Slaughter on 2016-01-26.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what support he is providing to the Inside Out programme run by Durham University.
Mr Shailesh Vara
We want prisons to be places of hard work, rigorous education and high ambition, with incentives for prisoners to learn and for prison staff to prioritise education and work.
The Inside Out programme run by Durham University in selected north east prisons during 2014-15 is an excellent example of an innovative local partnership, aimed at higher level prisoner learners.
The National Offender Management Service supported the programme through re-prioritising prison staff resources to make sure the learning could take place.
