The day of release can be quite a daunting one - both exciting and intimidating. After having everything done for you, the routine of prison life and the support that comes with it, walking through the gates brings high expectations, not just of staying out of trouble but being able to cope on your own.
Jake shares about the day he left prison and making a new life.

Not just a polite, appreciative comment from Ben to his In2Out mentor, but the result of a trusted relationship that had developed between them.

Our 'through the gate' mentoring support starts in custody and continues back in communities across the North of England and the Midlands. Our support makes a real difference to vulnerable participants - like Kit - helping them manage themselves and life 'on the out', building confidence and resilience so that they stay out.
