Title: Banking on a fresh start: A research study into the Co-operative Bank's Project to enable prisoners to open basic bank accounts in HMP Forest Bank.
Summary: The U.K. Prison Service policy allows inmates to maintain a bank account and, within certain restrictions, to make deposits, including from the prison personal cash account. This research argued that prisoners should be encouraged to use and to manage their new bank accounts while still in prison. This will familiarize those unused to banking with the basics of the banking process, encourage saving for release and enable prisoners to deposit checks sent to them from outside. The research suggested that if the prison and Jobcentre Plus combined to direct people to use a bank account and, after release, adequate personal advice and money guidance available, then the ability of ex-offenders to use a bank account would be improved.
