The reality former criminals face when released from prison | Four Corners

This has to be the best self help rehilbation care centre I ever seen...there should be more of these available to people whom want change 💯💯

It saddens me that these men are just expected to change their habits, seemingly without any ongoing care. Especially around substance use. If a program was in place, It would of been good to say so, because as it stands. It appears they are just expected to all of a sudden overcome addiction and manage any underlying issues themselves. That's like expecting me to simply stop having my morning coffee. Like Noooooooooo F... Way... It cant be easy and I feel deeply for them all. If only there were more places like this..

I work in a shelter in with similar rules and outcomes to this one. I just want to applaud Claude on the way that he handles alot of situations with accountability but also compassion. Well done Claude you know how to talk to people mate 👍

Not excusing criminal activity but you can bet these men have wounds from childhood experiences. It's a shame there's not resources to give these guys a decent rehabilitation. It's clear so many of them have so much to offer.

Charity shops do leave the original tags on ! They leave the tags on because the designer brands that are donated that have not been worn can be sold for a higher price.

yes , op shops do sometimes have new tags on them.

I don’t know where he got those dresses from but YES charity shops do keep tags on. I’ve bought dresses for $10 bucks that are worth $300 brand new with tags. I understand why they are suspicious but they are wrong that you can find some really expensive stuff for cheap at charity shops.

This is why intervention with kids from unstable homes is so important. This is an ambulance at the bottom of the cliff. You need to have a solid base for children from 0 to 4. If this doesnt happen then the chance of these kids ending up prison is extremely high.

Bring them out to the country. We got plenty of farm work..not enough people. Its a good life. These people would thrive out here.

This is incredible. Places like this need more funding, not prisons. Claude is an amazing man.

Claude is a good man , he’s definitely a real one 💯🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I have seen plenty of expensive designer clothes in Salvos, Vinnies etc stores and they do often still have the tags on them with the original price.

I never committed a crime, but I wish I had a nice place to live like this. But for non-convicts, there are no resources. The only half-way houses are for criminals. Not fair.

Traumatised people find it hard to keep sober my heart reaches out to them all 😔🙏🏻🌸❤️

Also love what these ppl do for former inmates. Takes a special person to go through everything with them and put up with everything they do. Bless them

I wish you all the best no matter what ✌️

It’s so sad. Rainbow is trying to help, but what happens to these ppl after the 3 months? Where do they go?

Isn't there any way to have detoxing and rehab facility in the prisons? The halfway house should be also located near the prison. Vocational training must be offered. Tax must be spent on this area more than the politicians salaries.

I'm in so many different frames of mind after watching this. People who end up in prison have cost someone along the way. Whilst in prison, they cost taxpayers. After leaving, once again, it's taxpayers who fit the bill but everyone deserves a chance to make good on themselves. Not everyone has the same upbringing and chances at life. What I do know, there should be more support once released that way these older dudes can perhaps offer support to the ever growing youth crimes we experience in every state of Australia

Thats so good to hear...but the stats are also so depressing
