In societies across the world, the challenges faced by prisoners and ex-prisoners are numerous, complex, and often overwhelming. Once an individual enters the prison system, their life is irreversibly changed, and this transformation extends beyond the prison walls. The consequences of incarceration - be it the loss of social ties, employment prospects, or the stigma attached to having a criminal record - are felt long after release. When these individuals return to society, they often find themselves faced with a daunting set of obstacles that can lead to further entanglement in the criminal justice system, commonly known as the "revolving door" of incarceration.

For the families of prisoners, the challenges are no less significant. Families often experience financial strain, emotional distress, and social isolation, all of which can negatively affect their well-being and future. With the right support, however, prisoners, ex-prisoners, and their families can rebuild their lives, overcoming the consequences of their past and forging new paths forward. This is where More Than Our Past comes in.

The mission of More Than Our Past is to provide holistic, non-judgemental support for prisoners, ex-prisoners, and their families. The organisation works tirelessly to help individuals overcome the challenges they face before, during, and after incarceration. Through a variety of programs and services, More Than Our Past seeks to address not just the immediate needs of those affected by the justice system, but the root causes of criminal behaviour, offering both short-term assistance and long-term solutions.

If you or someone you know is in need of the support provided by More Than Our Past, we encourage you to reach out to us today. Whether you are a prisoner looking for guidance, an ex-prisoner in need of resources, or a family member seeking assistance, we are here to help.
