Claire Perry meets representative from the Young Federation
On Thursday 13th January, Claire Perry met Neil Reeder from the Young Foundation to discuss the ongoing trial of social impact bonds at Peterborough Prison. The Young Foundation provide advice and consulting services on this new sort of instrument and it is being used for the first time in the UK in a trial at Peterborough Prison. The bond attracts investment from third party investments and only pays out if the desired result is achieved, in this case a reduction in reoffending after prisoners have left jail. Claire said that "it is an innovative way to get true payment by results and I am interested given my work on the Justice Select Committee".
