At HMP Altcourse, rehabilitation is at the heart of what we do – and we know we can’t do it alone. We work with partner organisations, community groups and individuals to help prisoners build skills, confidence and positive connections for life beyond prison.

Providing work for prisoners at HMP Altcourse contributes towards improving offenders’ skills and experiences to ultimately lead to improved employment opportunities on release and reduced re-offending.  Find out more about our commitment to reducing re-offending.

For every shift that prisoners work additional funds are generated for community reparation to help provide additional support for victims and improved resettlement services.

Partnerships
Rail Track is a recent partner which we work closely with, delivering an NVQ level 2 qualification in Rail Engineering to prisoners, guaranteeing prisoners a job upon release.
