Ex-Prisoner explains…
It’s very important for young people to know the truth from those who really know. I’m a firm believer in crime prevention, restorative justice, promoting victim empathy and awareness and early intervention. Growing up I never got a balanced view on crime and the devastation it has on society. My motivation now is to inspire self-belief in our young and contribute to them fulfilling their potential and life ambitions through education. I want to do this by giving them an honest and accurate account of the ripple effects crime and prison has on society through the sharing of my past life experiences.
