These are co-written poems, the Unbound Community made up of those within the criminal justice ‘system’.
They have a power coming out of the circumstance in which the writers find themselves – not sorry for themselves, but facing the wrongs they have done does not make them blind to the dysfunction of the system. Far from setting them on a path to renewal and reform it seems almost purpose designed to create a spiral of re-offending – trapped them long after imprisonment has ended.
One poem
What I Feel About What You Said About Rehabilitation
The you that I see through your words about me
exaggerates my story and it hates it.
I don’t see the you
you see in me.
I am better. I am frightened.
I am alone.
I also put tags in
“He Didn’t Show Remorse”
Prayer From A Cell
