Mark Johnson, Do you think it would be possible to petition the government regarding the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act? My son who was sentenced to 3yrs 3mths in 1999 is finding it impossible to get a job as he is obliged to declare his unspent criminal record? Would be interested to hear your comments

Hi, Nacro have some excellent info on this subject. I do know that the act is under review ask we speak. Basically I can’t see how we can continue giving every offender a life sentence by installments through the stigma surrounding prison or CJS orders. Every deserves a chance to change!!!

Best wishes
