Through Care Support Project HM Prison Greenock
The motion
That the Parliament notes the Through Care Support Project being operated at HM Prison Greenock, which involves members of staff acting as Through Care Support Officers; understands that this offers prisoners preparing for release known members of staff whom they trust and whom they have confidence to seek advice from; notes that these officers support the prisoners prior to and after release; believes that this is an effective and constructive way to support prisoners back into the community that positively addresses the challenge of reoffending, and commends this project as a positive model for Scottish prisons.
