Blueprint that’s set to halve re-offending rates

A learning disability nurse has developed a programme which has been shown to halve re-offending rates in prisoners with low IQ.

Gary Docherty’s work with convicts has been so successful that jails in England, Norway and Australia have introduced his methods. And he hopes to have his Blueprint project running in all Scottish jails by the end of 2011.
