More about 2nd Chance Project
Our project starts inside prison as we believe this is the most effective way of reducing crime and victims of the future. We use sport in prison to target the 3% of the population, who cause 90% of crime in society. This percentage of the population includes some of the most dangerous gang members in our society. Key to our success is not only that we design our own system, approach and programmes, it’s the partners we use.
We bring partners together and help them to become more effective and confident at supporting offenders. We know that in doing so, our partners will continue supporting offenders when statutory services drop off and continue to provide positive networks and peer relationships. In dealing with gang members this approach is vital as many gang members in custody require a complete relocation on release from custody. Sport is an active and purposeful part of life in custody and we use it as the message that underpins change allowing change to be a process of value and reward.
