It is estimated that approximately 6% of prisoners, or those on probation or parole, are ex-servicemen - accurate probation figures are unknown. Many are suffering with various levels of mental health problems, often as a result of their experiences in recent conflicts and the impact that this had on themselves and their family relationships.

Let us hope we do not return to a policy of increasing incarceration in the belief that it will reduce re-offending and make communities safer; it clearly does not. In times of severe financial austerity, it is also very expensive.

By looking at things differently it is possible to break down the barriers and reduce re-offending. Change the thoughts and feelings and you change the behaviour! Change the behaviour and you change the thoughts and feelings!
