Ian, our Community Chaplain first came to know Jason in 2009 when he attempted to commit suicide in one of the Devon prisons.  His life was only just saved through the prompt intervention of prison staff who cut him down.  Referred by the chaplaincy team as one needing extra TLC, Ian spent some time getting to know him, gaining his confidence and instilling a degree of hope in him. Jason was eventually transferred back to mainstream prison life and Ian arranged for him to do some midweek courses with the chaplaincy team.

Jason is a born worrier and gets confused over dates and details.  As well as providing one-to-one support, Ian started to work towards helping Jason put practical things in place ready for his release.  This included liaison with the Offender Supervisor (Internal Probation) and his Offender Manager (external probation).
