Life After Prison

Life After Prison Presents: Touch Road – Episode 1

While The Sit Down is taking a short break, we bring you Touch Road, a brand-new mini-series about life after release from prison. Three people tell their stories of life after walking through the gate. In episode one we hear all about how they prepare for release, and how it feels to step out of jail for the first time once their sentence is over.   If you have recently been released from prison, there are lots of organisations that can support you:  Mental Health <a href="https://www.thecalmzone.net/"> CALM</a> CALM helpline – 0800 58 58 58 (open 5pm-midnight) <a href="https://www.samaritans.org/"> Samaritans</a> Samaritans helpline – 116 123 (24 hours) Post Release Support/ Disclosing your conviction <a href="https://www.nacro.org.uk/">NACRO</a> <a href="https://unlock.org.uk/"> Unlock</a> <a href="https://www.prisonadvice.org.uk/"> PACT</a> <a href="https://www.clinks.org/directory"> Clinks Directory</a> Accommodation <a href="https://www.shelter.org.uk/"> Shelter</a> <a href="https://www.crisis.org.uk/"> Crisis</a> <a href="https://www.mungos.org/"> St Mungo’s</a> <a href="https://www.hfw.org.uk/"> Housing For Women</a> <a href="https://www.stgilestrust.org.uk/"> St Giles Trust</a> Employment <a href="https://workingchance.org/"> Working Chance</a> <a href="https://switchback.org.uk/"> Switchback</a> <a href="https://employment4all.co.uk/"> Employment 4 All</a> <a href="https://onlyapavementaway.co.uk/home"> Only A Pavement Away</a> <a href="https://newfuturesnetwork.gov.uk/"> New Futures Network</a> <a href="https://www.stgilestrust.org.uk/"> St Giles Trust</a> <a href="https://www.bouncebackproject.com/"> Bounceback</a> <a href="https://www.cleanslateltd.co.uk/"> Clean Slate</a>  Orgs that Support Women <a href="https://www.advancecharity.org.uk/"> Advance</a> <a href="https://womeninprison.org.uk/"> Women In Prison</a> Addiction and Recovery <a href="https://humankindcharity.org.uk/"> Humankind</a> <a href="https://www.turning-point.co.uk/services/drug-and-alcohol-support.html"> Turning Point</a> Surviving Abuse <a href="https://www.survivorsuk.org/">Survivors UK</a> Armed Forces Support Organisation <a href="https://www.ssafa.org.uk/"> SSAFA</a> Care Leavers <a href="https://mycovenant.org.uk/"> Care Leaver Covenant</a>
