__**Topic 3 - Objectives of Business**__

The business objectives are to keep prisoners in jail and to protect the country at a low cost. They are successful because they have sixteen prisons all over the Scotland; the total in all the prisons is 8,370 prisoners all over Scotland. And are still taking in more prisoners everyday. The SPS are already at the forefront of providing   quality prisoner programmes geared to reducing re offending. In the years ahead this will be increasingly important. It is the key contribution we can make to reducing crime and making Scotland a safer place. This shows that they are successful as they are starting programmes and reducing the amount of crime. **The key __Aims__ (the Mission Statement) of the Scottish Prison Service are: **  §  to keep in **Custody** those committed by the courts; §  to maintaining good **Order** in each prison; §  to **Care** for prisoners with humanity; §  to provide prisoners with a range of **Opportunity** to exercise personal responsibility and to prepare for release; and §  to play a full role in the integration of offender management services.

As the prisoners would give back talk to the guards and they have to ignore them, following the mission statement is like the barriers and guideline or rules that they have to follow. I also think that they will become affective because they are improving the way the prisoners live and are giving the programmes to improve the prisoners.

These aims are central to our new **Vision** for the future.

Our Mission tells us what to do; the vision is aimed at making us do it better by concentrating on key themes.
