Connect - Offering guidance on issues revolving around behnefits and debt.

Think - Encouraging shifts in attitudes and behaviours to develop cohesive interpersonal skills.

Learn - Tackling issues including accommodation, education, training and employment.


Justice Network Content

Programme content is created and broadcast by The Life Channel in short, two or three minute messages which are both interesting and useful in motivating offenders to improve their health, and wellbeing and address their offending behaviour. Programmes will be followed by brief 'story boards' which are calls to action and linked with services available within the prison or upon release.

The channel will also broadcast content produced for the prison service by other production companies subject to appropriate licenses being acquired.
