Medium Intensity Rehabiliation Programme The Medium Intensity Rehabilitation Programme (MIRP) is a rehabilitative Rehabilitation Programme designed to help offenders examine the causes of their offending and develop specific skills to prevent them re-offending. Participants identify patterns in their thinking, emotions, and behaviours that lead them to offend. They develop their own personalised programme plan that identifies criminogenic (crime-causing) needs and risk factors to target for treatment. The programme is aimed at prisoners and offenders in the community who are at medium risk of re-offending. The MIRP targets adults who have RoC*RoI scores of between 0.3 – 0.7 for all offence types except sexual offences. The MIRP is delivered over 134.5 hours (53 sessions) by trained Intervention Services programme facilitators to groups of 10 participants, sessions are intensive and usually run for 2.5 hours four days a week, except the first and last session is 3.5 hours.
