RECOOP is a charity which supports older people in the criminal justice system in England and Wales. It provides support services, advocacy, advice and mentoring in the context of care, resettlement and rehabilitation, alongside consultancy and training services to prison and probation services.

History
The charity originated in the Age Concern Older Offenders Project (ACOOP) which was established in 2008. The charity is a response to an issue highlighted in the 2004 HMIP thematic review 'No Problems - old and quiet': Older prisoners in England and Wales, which reported that the needs of the growing population of older prisoners were being neglected, despite the establishment of a National Service Framework for the care of older people by the Department of Health in 2001 which called for partnership of health and prison services and the requirement of prisons to observe the Disability Discrimination Act from 2004. The charity was renamed RECOOP in 2010.

Activities
RECOOP primarily supports men and women over 50, though the definition of an 'older prisoner' or 'older offender' is contested. Older offenders are one of the fastest growing prisoner populations and have more complex needs than younger prisoners.

Some of RECOOP's current support services and schemes include a Buddy support system in prisons in the Devon group and North West group, which trains prisoners to provide non-intimate health and social care to older prisons with care needs. This scheme is provided in partnership with the prisons and local authorities under the Care Act (2014). There are also day care centres in prisons including the Lobster Pot at HMP Leyhill and the Rubies at HMP Eastwood Park women's prison. . RECOOP also publish a guide to good practice on working with older prisoners.
