To assist decisions about whether this is of interest the linked-to headline is

"Virgin Trains helps ex-offenders to put their lives back on track"

I do like it when the thread title has some indication of what it's about!! :-)

>>>James Timpson, its chief executive. His figures for reoffending among that group are impressive: “We only know of seven who have reoffended out of 750 plus who have joined us.”<<<

Whilst only 1% (known?), I am not sure that using these people in a security related industry is good news? What a wonderful opportunity to make an extra copy of of a coded key - coupled with name and address. They could then sell on a package of front door keys, address, with an optional added extra of the location of a suitable getaway car with key set. Could be a good little earner on the side. :)

The key wouldn't actually work, though. And then the would-be villains wouldn't even be able to run away as the soles would have come off their shoes.
