Outcomes on Release from Prison Sample Clauses

Outcomes on Release from Prison. The prison system’s purpose is to detain those committed to custody by courts and “to look after them with humanity and help them lead law-abiding and useful lives in custody and after release” (Her Majesty’s Prison Service, 2015).
