Peer Mentoring

The Peer Mentoring Programme utilises ISCOS members who have successfully reintegrated into society to guide and mentor inmates six months prior to their release from prison. Because both mentors and mentees have faced similar struggles in life, they can relate to each other better. These similarities also make it easier for mentors to understand personal issues that the mentees may be experiencing, and share solutions in a more applicable and relatable way.

We have seen how this programme has benefitted inmates, as they are inspired, encouraged and even learned valuable lessons on how to overcome possible challenges when they exit prison.
