Benefits of Insider Access
to the offender.
Insider Access allows the offender
to participate in meaningful activity
whilst in prison, either as part of a
supervised activity or unsupervised
in their cells.
Insider Access aims to develop
the motivation and self esteem of
offenders.
Our aim is to help offenders
develop employability skills and a
work ethic to support them upon
release.
The creation of content for Insider
Access can be embedded in the
learning undertaken by an offender
whilst in prison. It could be linked
to a qualification outcome by
learning providers in prison.
We will give offenders who have
contributed to Insider Access a
reference on request.
Through the Gate Support
Staff of Insider Access are happy
to meet with offenders in prison
and talk about Insider Access.
On the offenders request we will
provide, where possible, informal
mentoring 'Through the Gate' and
in the community.
Insider Access will (subject to
capacity) take suitable offenders
on licence from prison to work in
our office on the magazine.
Offenders upon release are
encouraged to continue
participating in providing content
for Insider Access or volunteering
in our office.
