The communities and societies we live in are stuck up in the stereotypical thoughts that label prisoners as convicts that can never transform their lives to better.Do we ever sit down and think of the mistakes and misconducts we have made and be forgiven for and given a second chance.

The public relations practitioner of Prisoners Education Trust have shown that the is a life after release. The Prisoners Education Trust is  a movement that has been established to show us that people behind bars are not the monsters we seem to think they are.It shows us that these people have the abilities to be tomorrow's leaders as well.The trust provides access to broader learning opportunities for prisoners,to enhance their chances of building a better life after release.Hence we find well known known celebrites like Kenny Kunene (South Africa), founder and owner of ZAR empire,a well known South African entertainment business that is doing well.Kenny Kunene was in imprisoned  for fraud but he took the opportunity whilst in prison to educate himself and become a better person which his release took him to the next level.It comes to the question where it shows that reading,studying and learning is for everyone whether be it a prisoner,prostitute and so on. It lies with the person in which route they take.
 Building a better life is always a choose that one encounters, not all prison mates are not willing to change..

    1. I wish that everyone had the motivation that you have behind their heads because some others give up in life beacause of how their judged by society therefore it is essential to keep to the goals you have then being discarriged by what people have to say.

  3. It's beacause society has already a negative mindset about people who have been in prison and therefore they do not give them the benefit of the doubt.
