Our approach
Catch22 delivers offender management, resettlement and gangs work in prisons and in the community. At the heart of our rehabilitative and restorative work is the belief that relationships are crucial to effective desistance from crime.
Catch22 run 21 justice services across 18 prisons. Last year we worked with:
- 38,700 service users in custody
- 20,700 victims
- 59,416 service users in total
Our diversion and rehabilitation justice work is based on:
- a thorough assessment of risk and need
- interventions that are tailored to meet the needs of each service user
- forming high quality relationships that are designed to promote engagement and desistance
- working with local partners and service experts to ensure the best use of different skills, knowledge and resources available
