1st November 2023
The Central Statistics Office (CSO) released its report Circumstances of Persons Linked to Justice Sanctions 2015-2021.
In total, 29,000 released prisoners and 38,000 persons identified by the Probation Service as having received Probation Orders from 2015-2021 were included in the study.
See IPRT's response to the report here.
Some key points from the report:
- Only one in four people who had served time in prison are actually linked with employment, with the majority reliant on a social welfare payment.
- People who had a probation order were more likely to be linked with employment than those who have served a prison sentence.
- The top three sectors in which justice-linked people were employed were construction, administration, and industry.
