Bridging custody to community: the Swansea Community Chaplaincy project

Abstract

Reoffending by prisoners returning to the community is a key driver in crime and prison statistics. The Community Chaplaincy project targeted at the three‐month bridging period has produced promising results in engaging clients, supporting resettlement and promoting rehabilitation. The Spider Assessment System has proved invaluable both as an assessment tool and as a therapeutic instrument, as it is easy to apply, interactive and provides clients a form of self‐expression.
