Hi Apologies for posting yesterdays news! I am afraid you may well be right on 'saving money' and things not changing much! Time will tell?

 

The saddest thing is that this article was written in 2014 but not much has changed since then. At least Grayling isn't at the MoJ any more, but as they are still "saving money" I don't suppose things will change much in the next three years.

Hi,

Try this link with Justice secretary seeming to want to support people released from prison with a criminal record.

Hope you find this useful.
