One 77-year-old prisoner who has served 23 years in prison writes:
’your letter made me realise that there might still be people in the world who are human and humane. I was on the point of moving into my depression again on the basis of my Case Manager’s attitude, but your letter saved me from that.’

He concluded his letter with this subscription :
‘With hope again’

Another wrote:
‘You helped keep me focused and positive, I felt unaccepted so I joined a gang for acceptance, albeit for a short stint.  Your support makes me feel good and wanted, so thank you for believing in me. I have hope again and I can once again believe in people’.
