OVERVIEW
Workshop 5 focuses on what happens once a prisoner is released from prison. It explores the idea that being released from prison is just the beginning of what can be a challenging period of adjustment and reintegration into society. It's crucial to demonstrate to young people that one action could affect their lives for a long time
​
This is particularly important because many people erroneously think they understand the process of coming out of prison and think the challenges are just probation and staying out of trouble.
​
Participants will understand how the enormous challenges prisoners face once released and the consequences of having a criminal record.
