WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HOME AFFAIRS BY DEPUTY M.R. HIGGINS OF ST. HELIER

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 12TH SEPTEMBER 2017

Question

Will the Minister –

  1. produce a table showing, for each convicted prisoner currently in custody, the nature of each offence committed, the sentence imposed, the time left to serve, any treatment or course that they are receiving to help prevent re-offending, and their nationality;
  2. state the number of prisoners who have been repatriated to their home countries to serve out their terms  of  imprisonment,  in  each  year  since  the  repatriation  agreement  with  the  respective jurisdiction was made, stating the countries in question and the nature of the offences committed?

Answer

I am grateful for the opportunity to comment on the range of opportunities available to prisoners which aim to assist them to lead law abiding lives on their release from prison. The attached table provides the information requested although, it should be noted, does not include education and vocational training. While the activities included in the table are not specifically designed to address offending behaviour, and would not be formally described as treatment', they are a hugely significant part of the rehabilitation programme.

Raising an individual's self-confidence and /or self-esteem, and providing them with a range of new skills to offer a potential employer will improve their chances of finding work and in the majority of cases that makes it less likely that they will re-offend.

It should be noted that prisoners generally engage in the offending behaviour programmes near the end of their sentence so prisoners who have been involved earlier in the year are likely to have been released. Consequently, a snapshot of the population on a given day may not give a very accurate reflection of prisoner engagement in such activities.

With regard to repatriations, please refer to the table below.
