This episode touches upon some issues relating to effective programs to support people returning to communities:
Why would effective programs like Lifeline be defunded by the government?Is there a bias against peer-support programs? Some prisoners who are resistant to prison programs or who are not being offered programs would benefit enormously from getting advice and support from those who have experienced prison and have succeeded in leaving crime behind.Shouldn't there be more research on the effectiveness of peer-support programs with a view to supporting evidence-based corrections?Rick raises the importance of volunteers bringing community into the prisons: How do we encourage this?
