In this third episode, Professor Goodman Sibeko and Michael Chaple look at what happens when re-entry support exists but the systems around it do not work together. Michael shares his experience of the barriers that can limit successful reintegration, from gaps in resources and competing priorities to organisations working in isolation.

In this second episode, Professor Goodman Sibeko is joined by Michael Chaple to explore the critical first weeks after release and what continuity of care looks like in practice.

Recent United States alerts on fentanyl analogues, medetomidine, cychlorphine, drug mixtures and concentrated 7-OH products highlight evolving challenges across the substance use workforce. They invite us to review local preparedness, understand testing limitations and strengthen links between frontline services, laboratories and public-health partners. A useful response brings together clinical, prevention, recovery and peer perspectives, with clear responsibilities for turning relevant findings into action. For the global ISSUP community, these alerts offer lessons in preparedness while requiring careful consideration of local evidence, resources and service arrangements. Staying informed through trusted sources and sharing practical responses through ISSUP can help translate emerging knowledge into safer care and more responsive support for individuals, families and communities.

In this first episode of The Road After Prison: Care, Recovery and Safer Communities, Professor Goodman Sibeko is joined by Michael Chaple, an internationally recognised expert in correctional behavioural health, implementation science, and justice systems integration.
