Eli Grant is a Senior Research Officer of RAPT -- Rehabilitation of Prisoners Trust.
Eli discusses the advances in the UK involving the 12 step model of recovery and its effects on UK institutional reform. She also discusses the advantages to society in providing this type of service to prisoners.
In 1991, RAPT started as the Addicted Diseases Trust when Peter Bond, a recovering alcoholic, observed the success of abstinence-based programs in the United States. He, Jonathan Wallace and RAPT trustee Michael Meakin, set up a charity to meet the needs of drug addicts in UK prisons.
