Second Chance Support (Scs) Information

To improve humanitarian and correctional conditions in prisons resulting in a safer society in sub-Saharan African countries. Second Chance Support (SCS) is a Dutch charity founded in 2010 operating in sub-Saharan African countries. We aim to give people in prisons a second chance. SCS focuses on six support areas: Welfare Support: improving the humane environment, Healthcare Support: improving medical facilities, Education Support: the opportunity to learn, Legal Support: creating better access to legal representation, Reintegration Support: assisting those who have been in prison with rehabilitation and re-socialisation upon release and last but not least Prison Staff Support: we provide support to prison staff. We want to break the circle of criminality. We help people in prisons to change their life and teach them how to develop better social- and vocational capabilities and help reform prisons to correctional institutions. Since its foundation, SCS has been run by volunteers who actively involve people in prisons. People in prisons who want to make a difference themselves. Besides local prison authorities, we work together with a variety of advisors and partnering organisations.
