Recidivism is complex terrain as it is affected by numerous factors. However, if there is a lack of throughcare and reintegration support in release process, that's not helpful. Languishing in prison with too much time in cells doing no rehabilitative work also not helpful to post-release prospects.

Did you know that Upside is delivered by a partnership of eight national charities?

We work together using an innovative pod model that allows us to share expertise and respond to local throughcare needs.

Each pod has a monthly meeting - here is Pod 7, South Scotland, in Ayr!

Collaboration across support services depends on shared understanding and effective information flow. With around 40% of prison referrals to @UpsideScotland throughcare presenting as homeless, joined-up working is crucial to a positive outcome on release.

Brothekanon:
So, a legal aid worker falls for a teenage killer and helps him ditch his ankle monitor? Talk about a conflict of interest! Guess 'throughcare' took on a whole new meaning. Definitely not the 'good deed' of the year.

Alampi, who was supposed to be coordinating the parolee's throughcare, was found sharing a hotel room with the teenager after he removed his ankle monitor. She had exchanged texts with him and checked into hotels under her name while he evaded capture.
