Switchback
If you are currently in a London prison and set for release within 3 months, a Switchback Mentor may be able to visit you regularly and together you prepare for release. The same Switchback Mentor meets you at probation on your day of release. If you are not in a London prison, we may be able to communicate through phone or letter and then meet you once you return to London. You can also get in touch and sign up, up to a month after your release.
Soon after you are released from prison, you will start training 2 days a week in a real-work training environment, with guidance and support from your Switchback Mentor. This stage is very important as it means experience to go on your CV, building up your skills and getting a good reference.
Switchback supports you to develop a stable routine and get yourself into training, education or paid work. When you first start a paid job, we will continue to support you through the difficulties that everyone experiences at the beginning. We are on your side as long as it takes and remain in touch when you have moved on.
