Supporting Vulnerable Individuals: A New Pilot for Remand Prisoners

The Wise Group is proud to announce the launch of our Remand Pilot, designed to achieve meaningful outcomes for vulnerable individuals transitioning from remand to community life. This innovative service addresses both the short-term and long-term needs of those in the criminal justice system, ensuring they receive the guidance and resources required for a successful reintegration into society.
