Abstract: The evaluation of Writers in Prison Network (WIPN) has revealedan innovative and well managed programme which is able to respondeffectively to the challenges of operating within the prison environment. Importantly, the evaluation has identified a significant impact on the development of prisoners' human and social capital which is an essential component of desistance from offending. The full evaluationreport will provide a more detailed assessment of the work of WIPN,and an additional focus on areas where WIPN can improve and developits delivery, and build upon its existing high level of service. Thiswill include recommendations for demonstrating its effectiveness interms of both intermediate and final outcomes. It will also suggestways of responding productively to both the desistance agenda and theemerging Payment by Results agenda.
