Her Majesty's Prison Service serves the public by keeping in custody those committed by the courts. Its duty is to look after them with humanity and help them lead law-abiding and useful lives in custody and after release.

Objectives

The Services is guided by three principal objectives:

• Holding prisoners securely
• Reducing the risk of prisoners re-offending
• Providing safe and well-ordered establishments in which we treat prisoners humanely, decently and lawfully.
