Stopping Ex-Prisoners Reoffending - Lilly Waters

Britain’s high reoffending rate costs taxpayers around £15bn a year. Very little of taxpayers money is spent on the important work that volunteers like Lilly do to assist prisoners reintegrate back into society. As a result 60% of released inmates go on to reoffend within a two-year period. Prisons seclude criminals from the rest of society and so naturally ex-offenders find it difficult to readjust to normal life once they get out and find it difficult to reintegrate into society. Lack of job opportunities, and difficulties finding accommodation are just two of the challenges former prisoners face and it is a cause of why many drift back to crime. LinksSussex Pathways CharityFacebook TwitterLilly InstagramSecond Chance Podcast Links:WebsiteBuzzsproutApple PodcastAudibleFacebookDonation Support:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/secondchance1Support the show Hosted on Acast.
