The Wales (Housing) Act 2015 introduced a preventative approach to addressing homelessness that impacted on prison leavers in Wales. Since the same changes will take effect in England from October 2018, this paper provides early insight into how new preventative duties have been implemented in Wales. Drawing on interviews with 114 stakeholders and 75 prison leavers, we report that the promise associated with a preventative agenda is presently not fully realised. We contend that resettlement activity might be improved if it was better incentivised and facilitated inside the prison wall. However, we also suggest the time has come for more radical options to be pursued to address homelessness amongst prison leavers. We argue against short prison sentences, which are so often causative of homelessness, and for providers of probation services to be better incentivised and resourced to take a more active role in meeting accommodation needs.

重新思考如何防止监狱离开者无家可归

2015 年威尔士(住房)法引入了一种预防性方法来解决影响威尔士监狱离开者的无家可归问题。由于相同的变化将从 2018 年 10 月起在英格兰生效,本文提供了有关威尔士如何实施新预防性关税的早期见解。通过对 114 名利益相关者和 75 名监狱离开者的采访,我们报告说,与预防议程相关的承诺目前尚未完全实现。我们认为,如果在监狱围墙内更好地激励和促进重新安置活动,它可能会得到改善。然而,我们也建议,现在是采取更激进的选择来解决监狱离开者无家可归问题的时候了。我们反对短期监禁,这通常是导致无家可归的原因,
