Restorative justice reduces reoffending and can offer victims the answers they seek. That’s why I have appointed @JacobFreeeman as an expert adviser on youth justice here at the @MoJGovUK 👇 Jacob’s story of restorative justice is shown across the country in “Punch” - a play by @mrJamesGraham about Jacob’s childhood, his crime, and the journey he, and his victim’s family took. From the West End to Broadway, Jacob’s experience It is about poverty, rehabilitation, crime, masculinity, and, ultimately, redemption - and the opportunity to turn around lives, and contribute to society. Policy from Whitehall must be informed by lived experience. So pleased Jacob is on board, ready to help us transform the youth justice system.

Pleased to meet @JacobFreeeman yesterday - who is doing fantastic work on restorative justice initiatives. Looking forward to seeing the play ‘Punch’ based on Jacob’s life which has rave reviews. Lots for us politicians, and justice practitioners, to learn from.

Just one punch. Two families changed forever. Punch shows how restorative justice makes space for truth, courage, and human repair. My latest review for @RJCouncil explores its impact on two stages—Broadway and the West End— restorativejustice.org.uk/blog/punch-sto… #PunchThePlay

From Broadway last week to the Westend - great to have the opportunity to see Punch at the @NimaxTheatres in London with @drkatedoolin. It will be interesting to see the nuanced changes between the UK and USA. An amazing performance which truly demonstrates the paper of RJ

@JacobFreeeman Watched the play last night and listened to the Amol Rahman interview today. Inspired by your humility. And not underestimating the bravery. You will change lives. All power to tomorrow being the only day that matters.

So great to hear @JacobFreeeman (of @PunchThePlay) telling his story of the redemptive power of RJ at the @AssnYOTmanagers conference “I was traumatised, desensitised to violence & not able to take accountability… I needed high support & high challenge” 💭 Harm to healing ❤️‍🩹
