Why Next Chapter Scotland?

‍

We believe that no one should be judged based on their worst choices. Instead, they should be seen as they are today.

‍

At all times our Board of Trustees must be made up of at least 50% of people who have been involved with the criminal justice system.  

‍

We live through the discrimination every single day so we understand how hard it can be.

‍

‍

• Provide up to date, clear and accessible information to help people to navigate the stigma and discrimination they can face.

People Tell Us

“The punishment only started with prison. 23 years on from release and it hasn’t ended yet”

“You’re not classed as a valuable member of society. You’re tainted”

“I was better off in prison because I at least had people to talk to and didn’t worry about having to sleep on the street”

“I’ll be forever known as someone who’s been to prison. No matter how much time passes or what good I do, I’ll always be judged for my past crime”

“(It's so hard) Having to disclose to a faceless call centre operator every time I need insurance”
