Prison Reform Trust: Earning in prison must also help prisoners re-enter society

Juliet Lyons, Prison Reform Trust director, expresses support for idea but warns against breaking the link between earning in prison to help resettlement:

"It's always a problem if people leave prison with absolutely nothing. It's likely to cause further offending.

"A scheme like this has to be thought through carefully so that money is set aside for victims but that we also pay attention to resettlement."
