Why Go

Beyond Second Chances

Without second chances, a released inmate will leave the first physical prison and potentially enters a second social prison.

Even after they have committed to giving themselves a second chance and committed to turning over a new leaf, many ex-offenders face challenges on multiple fronts as issues around employment, accommodation and family reconciliation are deep seated and complex. It is therefore important to upskill inmates and ex-offenders and provide them with sustainable and good career opportunities. The community also plays a critical role to accept, embrace and reintegrate ex-offenders successfully.

Individuals, employers and organisations do not just offer second chances when they accept an ex-offender. In fact, their actions will inspire others, creating a chain reaction for a more inclusive and cohesive society.
