Has Restorative Justice helped other offenders you’ve supported?
“Opens your eyes a bit. Gave me chance to reflect on it again and get my apology across – have some form of contact with them.”
“Helped me understand the harm I caused.”
“I could not have done this without you. I have let that guilt go now and it’s all good. I have done the right things and being able to do that because of you. I had guilt and it’s a weight off my shoulders. I had no way of sharing how I felt about what I did and what the future could be like for both of us. I will only have positive thoughts now, not negative ones. I want to start a different life, what I did would have always been weighing on me.”
“Given me time to reflect on it and put feelings on to paper. Doing that and talking about it has given me the time to think and realise the implications.”
