Providing justice administration and prison services
With 30 years of experience in supporting Justice and Prison Administrations, we aim to change lives for the better by operating safe, decent and secure prisons as well as by reducing reoffending through rehabilitation.
In partnership with justice institutions and charities, we support people in our care to change their lives for the better by providing opportunities for purposeful activity and employment skills, education and rehabilitation support services.
We operate prisons only in democratic countries that do not have the death penalty, where the ultimate goal of incarceration is prisoner rehabilitation and where its staff are not required to carry arms. We adapt our services to national laws and cultures.
We deliver the total operation of five prisons in England and Scotland and also operate prisons in France and Chile.
Services we provide to justice
We provide a range of support services for justice organizations, such as maintenance, catering and industrial workshops for prisons and security facilities. We also offer rehabilitation services in the community and in prison to reduce re-offending, protect the population and support the criminal justice system.
Full prison operation
We run prisons in full including; integrated Facilities Management, full prisoner management; catering; rehabilitation services; resettlement and offender behaviour programmes; education and skills development; vocational training as well as workshops and industries. In some of our prisons we provide healthcare and mental health services and a separate Mother and Baby Unit.
Reducing re-offending through rehabilitation
We focus on providing our prison residents with the life skills, work experience, education and accommodation on release to help equip them to successfully integrate into society.
