Veterans in the Criminal Justice System
• Why do ex-service personnel get caught up in the Criminal Justice System?
• What can be done to prevent this? Are they aware of the consequences – for themselves and family?
• Is there enough done to prevent them re-offending on release? What else can be done?
• How do veterans react to prison? Can we offer them more while incarcerated?
• How serious are we about rehabilitation and reintegrating them back into society?
• How do we rate the quality of support we provide to families of convicted veterans
• What do they do after prison?

RESETTLEMENT
"I never had any help when I left. I just left. I walked out of the front gate with my kit bag with all my civvy stuff, my campaign medal, my book, my red Army discharge book that is and that was it. I walked out of the gate, called a taxi to the station and caught a train back home. That was it. Done."
