Summary 6

Hello classmates! Today I am going to talk about an article very important to Psychology and especially to Juridical Psychology. This information was published by the site www.theguardian.com and this is the link http://www.theguardian.com/society/2013/oct/10/prison-education-standards-ofsted

This article addresses about the inefficiency of the educational programs of the prisons in England and the criticizes that this situation have caused.  The article shows the opinion of Mateo Coffey, national director of further education and skills at the education watchdog (Ofsted). He says that exist a great number of prisoners that no have employability skills, meaning they are less likely to find a job. This situation is very alarming because the researches show that the work is one of factors more important to reduce the relapse, approximately 30% and 50%. In addition, Coffey says that is very expensive to the Estate the maintenance of the prisoners.

Moreover, recent research shows that a great number of men and woman in prisons in England and Wales lack of qualifications and insufficient of literacy skills.

Also, Mateo Coffey says that the prisons that work with institution that help develop vocational abilities are rare cases.

Finally, the article shows the vision of Jeremy Wright, who is the prisons minister. He says that the relapse is too high but that they are working with different institutions to resolve this problem.
