So many people end up in the justice system because of unresolved issues with housing, trauma, healthcare and drug/alcohol use. A community-based approach is a vital part of the solution, providing real paths to rehabilitation that tackle these problems in the community, rather than in prison.
Although we understand the need for Emergency Early Release, lessons must be learned from the process. Inadequate pre-release planning is a major worry for the wellbeing and outcomes for those released. buff.ly/jHYvwS6
