Help create meaningful change in the justice system.
At Beyond the Stone Walls Advisory Collective (BSWAC), our purpose is to create meaningful change in the criminal justice system and foster long-lasting community connections.
BSWAC is a unique platform comprising of people with lived experience of the criminal justice system (CJS), university students, researchers and CJS practitioners.
We are consulted by a range of stakeholders in the justice sector about complex issues arising from criminal justice policies. We advise on possible solutions by amplifying the voices of people with lived CJS experiences. Through reflection and storytelling, we inspire and influence systemic social change.
