People who leave the criminal justice system find it hard to stay on the right side of the Law. The reason for this state of affairs is complex, but many people leaving prison have few good role models. They are often in need of help in getting the basic necessities of life, and have little spiritual and social support. They are often struggling alone with burdensome personal problems.

Many people leaving prison have next to no help in charting a new direction. - Prison Chaplain
