How Our Criminal Justice Support Works

Our criminal justice service offers specialist support for those involved in the criminal justice system. This includes people in prison, people who have been recently released from prison, those with criminal records or going through the sentencing process and those who are at risk of committing a crime.

Konnect also provides support for victims of crime (including male and female victims of domestic abuse).

Our support is always non-judgemental. We see the person, not the pieces; we won’t rule out supporting an individual based on their past.

We have a well-established prison in-reach service, with excellent relationships with Channings Wood Prison, Dartmoor Prison and Exeter Prison. We also link with Eastwood Park Prison and support the resettlement and rehabilitation of prisoners returning to Cornwall and Devon who have been inmates at any UK prison.

We also work closely with allied services including housing, probation and the police.

Konnect works with around 100-150 prisoners over the course of a year. Via weekly check-ins, we connect with inmates ahead of their release. This allows us to provide support for when it is most needed.

For those going through the criminal justice service, we help with understanding and disclosing convictions, mental and physical health concerns, substance abuse, education, training, employment, housing and financial worries.

We believe the work we do at Konnect provides a lifeline for prisoners, who might otherwise get left behind.

Our criminal justice support network also covers victims of crime. Previous schemes have included working with the Victim Support Unit and a partnership scheme, Krefta Kernow, to support male victims of domestic abuse. You can read more about this in our case studies below.

When a client comes to us, we work to address and resolve multiple barriers that might prevent them from moving forward. By putting the right support system in place, we can overcome these barriers.

Our clients include those who have complex and diverse needs, those who have been involved in the criminal justice system and individuals who feel lost or ‘stuck’. We empower every individual to find pathways to enable them to progress with their lives.

We provide practical support in matters such as finance, housing, health and well-being, education, training and employment. And, we guide individuals through personal challenges using a trauma-informed approach towards our mentoring and support.

Our experience allows us to provide non-discriminatory and non-judgemental support, including to those involved in the criminal justice system or who have complex and diverse needs.

We see the value in everyone and we understand that self-worth is the foundation for a brighter future. We enable everyone to feel heard and to feel that they belong; empowering them to rebuild their lives.

Based in the heart of Cornwall, our team members work across Cornwall and into the South West. We work in partnership with local and national services to provide a whole-person approach to our support and advocacy.

We are a not for profit organisation and as such, we rely on grants, funding and support from allied trusts. If you would like to see how you can support our work, please click the button below to find out more.
