Financial pressures, homelessness, employment difficulties, breakdown of relationships, all kinds of reasons make it impossible for ex-offenders to return to society smoothly. Routes out of Prison(RooP) is a life coaching project in Scotland that works with prisoners due for release from a short term sentence to support them as they re-join society. The Life Coach accompanied the ex-offenders to cross the difficult barriers after the release. They also mediated various government and community resources to help the ex-offenders. The purpose of this article is to introduce The Routes out of Prison(RooP) Project in Scotland, and reflect on the current community-based treatment system in Taiwan.
