The Impact
Stage 1
Restoration
Currently 76% of women reoffend and the yearly incarceration costings are £52,121 per female prisoner. If 6 women can be housed and cared for so they don’t reoffend within a year we would be saving just from incarceration costs £208,484 likely to rising to over £250 000 a year when judicial, policing and societal impacts are taken into account.
Stage 2
Reconciliation
With mentoring decreasing reoffending by 11%, with some faith-based programmes reducing reoffending up to 50%. If the pathway mentors 30 women a year, 21 would be expected to reoffend. If we can drop the reoffending rate to 50% thereby dropping the figure to 15 women reoffending, that would be a saving of £312 726 a year.
This would mean a yearly saving of £781,815 just on incarceration costs alone.
Stage 3
Rejuvenation
The seed programme would aim to work with 36 women a year of which 25 would be expected to reoffend. Through sport, wellbeing and restorative justice courses we could decrease that number to 20 that would be a further saving of £260,605 a year.
