Abstract

In 2019, the Safer Living Foundation (SLF) charity opened its first Safer Living Centre (SLC) in Nottingham, England, which operates in agreement with probation to support the desistance of sexual crime. Informed by the Good Lives Model, the SLC primarily supports individuals who have a sexual conviction and are living in the community, through to individuals who are concerned about harmful or offence-related sexual thoughts (but are not criminal justice involved). This paper discusses qualitative research findings from a longitudinal research project exploring the reintegration journeys of men leaving prison with a sexual conviction and having subsequent engagement with the Safer Living Centre (SLC). In particular, the paper unpacks the superordinate theme: ‘building resilience’ to highlight the transformative potential of the SLC for those transitioning back into the community following a period of imprisonment.
