Why We Exist

Take2 is a social venture that provides justice-impacted individuals with the support, resources and opportunity to improve their quality of life.

Why We Exist

Hurt People Hurt People

Justice-impacted individuals need our acceptance and support to get back on their feet. Instead, they are often ridiculed, stigmatised and ostracised from our society, creating a significant social and fiscal cost.

25%
Prison entrants reported that 1 or more of their parents or carers had been in prison during their childhood.
48%

52%
Of people will reoffend within two years of release.
$147,900
Cost per year to house someone in prison, and that cost is skyrocketing.
Punishment Is Expensive

Punishment Is Expensive,
Rehabilitation Is Not.

Almost all individuals will return to the community from the justice system. To break the cycle of crime and to create safer communities for everyone, we need to better invest in this population.

If we want people to come out of the prison system and to do better and be better, then we – as a society – have to take an active role in making that happen.
