Unbarred Project

The Unbarred Project is a volunteering initiative under the University of Nottingham Pro Bono Society. We seek to reduce the barriers faced by offenders when they leave prison and facilitate the rehabilitative shortfall of our penal system. Quite simply, we are trying to make a difference for inmates as they re-enter society in any way we can. Our students and volunteers have a passion for the justice system, rehabilitation and penal reform. As part of The Unbarred Project we have the opportunity to visit a variety of prisons across the East Midlands to conduct workshops for soon to be released inmates. We seek to support them at every stage of their transition by giving our members a platform to inspire positive change for the most vulnerable and stigmatised in society. For these reasons, it is something highly recommended to anyone with an interest in rehabilitation.
