About this listen

 This three- part series from the Norwich-based charity Community Chaplaincy Norfolk (CCN) . ‘George’, who has autism and dyslexia and left prison with £76 (the standard release grant), lifts the lid on the reality of life after prison. We hear how much difference a mentor makes. Dot, a former probation officer, is his mentor. She’s helped by accompanying him to appointments, navigating the job market with a conviction, cooking and budgeting. This is a warm and tender, warts -and- all listen.Community Chaplaincy Norfolk Social Sciences
