And if they want to change, they need to make the choice to do that for themselves.

What I survived
Getting Jnr Home - P7

And to that, I wouldn't disagree.

What I survived

But as Junior says, even for those people who want to do that, the prison in some ways stops them and won't allow them to better themselves or to take classes.

So what then?

What I survived

What I survived
Getting Jnr Home - P7

Work that they can undertake to occupy their days, learn some new skills, and of course, earn a little bit of money.

Getting Jnr Home - P7

And when I say little, I mean a little.

What I survived
Getting Jnr Home - P7

Yeah, yeah, that one's good.

What I survived
