Learning to
Stay Out
of Trouble
Latest!
Under the initiative of
Paci�c Agriscience, a
company with
extensive expertise in
agriculture science &
technology, our
student-client
successfully
completed a 6 weeks
internship during his
school holidays.
SACA’s Education
Support Programme
provides funding,
support networks and
workshops to motivate
student-clients who are
enthusiastic about
upgrading their skills
and continuing on their
learning journey.
Age: 33
Length of imprisonment: 8 years
How have you fared since
starting on the Programme?
I decided to further my education which is a
big step forward at my age. Starting so late is
not to my advantage. However, this has also
helped me keep away from company which
might in�uence me to go astray yet again.
What is your relationship with
your case worker like?
She is like a mentor to me. She would make
sure I get everything in place so that I can
concentrate on my studies.
Do you remember the first
time you met her? How was it?
She made me feel comfortable and that I
could con�de in her and that she sincerely
wanted to help me.
What do you think of
mentorship? Is it essential to
the reintegration process?
I think it is a good idea to introduce the
mentorship aspect as part of the Programme.
It is important as clients like me would have
no idea what to do upon release and if there
is no one to guide us we may just rely on
friends who might give bad advice instead.
Mentorship would ensure that we get the
right advice regarding getting back on our
feet.
How would things be different
if you didn’t have a mentor?
I think that I would be left on my own as
nobody would understand what I am really
going through. I would not get the help I
need and in the end I may give up and go
back to my old ways.
My colleagues
trusted me & treated
me with patience &
kindness. They didn’t
judge me because of
my past, I felt
accepted.
