Business and criminal justice leaders are joining people who have served sentences in a 100 mile walk – The Right Track. They are walking to support the reintegration of people post-prison who want to “put back not go back”.
Walking alongside them, rather than away from them, is, they believe, the best way to prevent reoffending. Over 70,000 people are released from prison each year, many feel “set up to fail” and reoffend.
The walk is in support of the work of charity, Beating Time, which helps people maintain their mental health in prison and get into work and rebuild their lives after prison. The High Sheriffs of the West Midlands, Greater Manchester and Greater London along with prominent people from across the community, including regional prison Governors will join the The Right Track, at various points.
