Abstract
In the context of increased involvement of nonprofit organizations in criminal justice, this article has two primary aims: to explore the extent of nonprofit involvement in prisoner reentry, and to capture awareness of, and engagement with, nonprofit organizations from the perspectives of those serving prison sentences. This article presents the results of a national survey (n = 680) and interview study (n = 254) carried out in England, which explored the extent of prisoners' involvement with nonprofit organizations in meeting their reentry needs. Findings are discussed in the context of the changing role of nonprofit organizations in prisoner reentry.
Notes
As well as the 989 15- to 17-year-olds held in young offender institutions, there are currently 366 children as young as 10 years of age held in secure children's homes and secure training centers.
This figure excludes discharges following recall after release on license, noncriminals, persons committed to custody for nonpayment of a fine, persons reclassified as adult prisoners, and deported prisoners.
A proven reoffense is defined as any offence committed in a 1-year follow-up period and receiving a court conviction, caution, reprimand or warning in the 1-year follow-up or a further 6-month waiting period. The data source is the extract of the Police National Computer held by the MOJ.
