Family Matters
At HMP Peterborough we are dedicated to helping reduce the risk of re-offending by ensuring that all relationships are not only maintained, but strengthened through contact and creating a sense of purpose while in custody.
Reducing reoffending
Rehabilitation and reducing reoffending are at the core of everything we do across Sodexo’s prisons. Our 'Reducing Reoffending' strategy focuses on clear, tangible outcomes that will be visible to prisoners, their families, and our staff. Everyone has a role in helping us change lives for the better.
HMP Peterborough is unique as we look after both male and female prisoners, delivering support mechanisms appropriate to our diverse population.
We have a Mother and Baby Unit on site with a dedicated team who support child development. A Pregnancy Mother and Baby Liaison Officer (PMBLO) works with pregnant prisoners to assess their needs.
Outside Links
Outside Links offers ‘beyond the gate’ support to former prisoners, helping them to access the services they need to successfully settle back into the community.
