A partnership with HMYOI Aylesbury enables young offenders to earn time credits while serving custodial sentences, though peer support, attending education courses, or leading clubs or groups. These credits are distributed to time banks who donate them to vulnerable or isolated community members. Feedback gives young offenders self-esteem, confidence and a feeling of being connected – helping to overcome the lack of empathy that is cited as a major cause of reoffending. TBUK is exploring the possibility of offenders banking their hours to ‘spend’ on training or development upon release, and ways to integrate timebanking throughout the criminal justice system.
