Abstract

This guide explores the experiences of people with an offending history who have debt problems. It draws on both literature and evidence from professionals in the field. It highlights the complexities of working with prisoners and ex-offenders, identifies the most common types of debt accrued, and discusses some of the key themes and challenges when working in this area. It seeks to provide an evidence base to help shape professional conversations about working effectively with prisoners and ex-offenders and the broader policy issues that influence people’s lived experience and the delivery of services. It includes a case study that highlights how positive outcomes can be achieved for service users.
