Community work a prisoner may be able to do
Working for the local community near the prison is called ‘working out’. This gives certain prisoners the chance to build up their confidence before they leave prison.
A prisoner can only do community work if the prison thinks they:
are not a risk to the public
will return to prison
If the prisoner is in an open prison or at the end of their sentence, they could work on a voluntary basis and move to paid employment.
See ‘Types of prison and security categories’ to find out more about open prisons.
See ‘When a prisoner may be eligible for release’ for information about when a prisoner can be released for short periods of time.
