Retreat for the Innocent is a campaign set up by M.OJ.O. (Scotland) to raise £500,000 to build a retreat to help reintegrate and prepare innocent people back into society. Unlike the guilty who have a long and slow process before release. a day out, a weekend and then a whole week. Then when they are released they will have a network of support including a parole officer and a card with a list of helpline numbers. What happens to the innocent. The answer is heartache and misery, usually followed by a cycle of drugs or alcohol abuse, or both. There is no help available for innocent people after they are released, no preparation, no counselling pre or post release nothing. Then can be no doubt that wrongful incarceration is damaging. but what is worse is the way individuals are released back into society is compounding that damage. It would be a tragedy of immense proportions to think helping to get innocent people out of prison is ultimately damaging them irreparably. This has to stop, please help us build a M.O.J.O. Retreat. We are planning a number of high profile events that will be taking place over the next two years to raise £500,000, which we hope will be match funded by the Scottish Executive. more
