We are trusted by prisoners
We have staff and mentors who have served prison time, so will understand what individuals inside are going through. We can build a rapport and trust with prisoners via prison radio and mentoring sessions, something which prison and authority workers find very difficult to do. This relationship can then be used to help influence them to envision and create better futures for themselves on release.
