Relationships
It is important to build a positive relationship between prisoners and those who they come in
contact with both while in custody and on release. If a prisoner does not have positive support
or role models in the community they come from it can means that when they return to that
environment they will be more likely to reoffend but if the prisoner can build a positive
relationships this will lead to opportunities such as work or constructive study and the
chances of reoffending are greatly reduced. It can be very hard for prisoner to have
relationships outside of the prison as they might have isolated family and friends and also
they might find it difficult to reintegrate into society as there is a social stigma attached to
those who have served a custodial sentence and by being taken into custody jobs, family and
housing might be lost. This can leave a negative impact on prisoners s this is why prisoners
are allowed to maintain relationship with family and friends and are entitled to visits which are
taken place in a supervised environment. Children are allowed to visit and are encouraged to
create relationships between the prisoner and their children. To maintain this they have open
days and encourage offenders to tape bedtime stories for kids or write stories and letters for
them. This will keep the prisoners connected with their family and may influence good
behaviour to remind them that they can soon be with them.
A Probation Officer is a qualified social worker who works with a broad spectrum of offenders
and their families in courts, the community and prisons. The purpose of the work of a
Probation Officer is prevent reoffending by assessing offenders, challenging their offending
behaviour, changing their attitudes and behaviour and thereby protecting the public.
Probation officers interact with offenders, victims, police and prison service colleagues on a
regular basis. They work closely with statutory and voluntary agencies. They may also
manage approved residential premises for offenders and ex-prisoners. A Probation Officer
must prepare Pre-Sentence Reports on offenders appearing before Youth, Magistrate and
Crown courts. A Pre- Sentence Report is a written report which is prepared by a Probation
Officer for Court. The purpose of the PSR is to assist the court in determining the most
suitable sentence. A Probation Officer will interview the offender and gather information from
a range of other sources. It is important to have a good relationship with your probation
officer so that they can not only keep you up to date but also get to know you personally so
that they can determine whether you are a high risk to the community or not. It is important
to have prohibition officers both for rehabilitation both while in custody and on release they
help with the prisoner to address there problem of reoffending and help with prisoner
reintegration into society on release. People can also volunteer to help prisoners both during
custody and on release. There are schemes like toe by toe and storybook dads which relay on
volunteers and the Samaritans who are active in prison, supporting prisoners and training
listeners.
