We have some informal processes of mentoring and peer support, particularly for individuals who are released out into the community. They seem to be most helpful in dealing with some of the points that were raised earlier in terms of how individuals help offenders deal with some of the struggles of being back out in the community. We have seen that in a positive way. It's not as structured or as organized as it could be, but there are definite benefits for those who have left the system and gone on to become law-abiding citizens and have obtained jobs, to support other offenders coming out.
