The presentation will focus on the experience of reintegration of men serving a life sentence from the perspective of a community based service provider. PACE provides accommodation, training, social enterprise and prevention services to people with a wide range of convictions. PACE Prevention Services works with people who have convictions for harmful sexual behaviour. PACE works on a pre and post release basis with men serving life sentences. The presentation will examine the narrative research into the experience of men who have served a life sentence and the real life experience of PACE.
