There are over 18,000 16-25 year olds in custody in the UK - an increase of more than a third in the past ten years. Two-thirds of these say that a mentor would help them to stop re-offending, particularly if the mentor were someone who themselves had broken the cycle of offending. However, while mentoring provision does exist, it is often duplicated and sporadic, and does not work to any minimum standards.
