Situation
People in prison are among the most marginalised individuals in our society. With 47% lacking qualifications, 29% having experienced childhood abuse, and 34% having attempted suicide, the challenges they face are immense. Stigma surrounding custodial sentences further exacerbates their struggles, with over 25% returning to prison due to limited access to housing, support, and meaningful employment.
Solution
Through National Prison Radio we provide: • Reliable, clear signposting to opportunities, resources, and services for people in prison • A sense of positive community • Opportunities to gain new skills and find pathways into employment within the creative sector and beyond • Rehabilitative audio content which supports people to improve their wellbeing and future prospects • National Prison Radio is a 24/7 service that benefits up to 80,000 people in prison across England and Wales every single day.
