🚪 Leaving Prison

Most prisons have someone who can help with housing advice.

You can also get help from:

• Your Probation Officer or Youth Offending Officer
• Through the Gate services (if your sentence is 12 months or less)
• NACRO Resettlement Advice Service – call 0300 123 1999

🏠 Staying with family or friends can be a good short-term option.
If things have been difficult, you may need to show you’ve made changes.
