  • Life After Prison The Spark | Jules
    In this episode Jules chats to another Jules (not confusing at all!), who is very close to becoming a qualified Solicitor. Jules is planning on supporting and being an advocate for people going through the criminal justice system. Having served a community order herself, Jules has experience with the CJS and knows the impact having a criminal record can have on your career and on your self-worth. Jules also talks about her difficult upbringing in Africa, and the culture shocks she found when moving to the UK. With a lot of support from some incredible organisations listed below, and with a huge amount of determination and will power, Jules is well on track to achieving her childhood ambition.
