Parc Cadets programme
In 2008, the Parc Cadets Programme was introduced with the aim of preparing prisoners to join the armed forces, especially the army, after release. The programme is specifically for prisoners aged between 18 and 21 and on their first sentence of up to two and a half years.
During 2008, nine young offenders took part in the programme, six passed and two have provisional places with the armed forces when they are released.
