Beyond the Wire

75% of children under the age of 18 who are locked up before they appear in court do not subsequently receive a jail sentence.
Add to the mix the fact that many have been in care, a lot have mental health problems and some are hundreds of miles from home – rendering family visits difficult if not impossible. Prison is not an environment for any but the most violent children….
When you spend the time to take away the labels, destroy the boxes they’re put into, and see the person underneath, you can begin to see the potential.
Sometimes we need to look beyond the paperwork, the history and our own perceptions to see the true potential in people. Only then can we enable them to see a brighter tomorrow.

Don’t I know it.This is very beautiful.But the thought nearly kills me.
Lived at one of those places long ago.It’s OK.It only bothers me when
I think of it,in my dreams,eating breakfast,using the restroom etc.,etc.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No, only when I drive by one,I want to speed up.
Nice work though! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMWA!
Jaybe replied

Bless you Michael…for me, working in one is hard enough. ;-)
MMMWWAAA

Oh, gosh…...children…..this is terrifying and devastating.

Jaybe replied

I work in a Young Offender’s Institution and yes, terrifying and devastating are definitely 2 words I would use. ;-)
Thanks for the lovely comment. x

Like terri mentiones.. exceptional heART.. this is what your group is about.. the caring for others.. the will to see beneath the surface.. and the courage to stand up for those who allready have been labeled by society..
this piece together with the words show me the core of your being Jacqui and i admire you for it.. xx
Jaybe replied

Sadly, I have to be very careful about what I say and what I portray….for now….I always seem to end up in jobs like this….hehe…
Thankyou Liesbeth….

Carolyn Cable

the depth of emotion within this piece (art and words) is amazing… if more people could see the hidden beauty in others maybe it could melt the razor wire.
bravo Jaybe!!!
Jaybe replied

Thankyou so much Carolyn….maybe one day….;-)
Lea Williams

Oh, that is sooooo true. It is sometimes so hard to see beyond what they have “done” what they “look like” and who they are trying to be. The razor blades and the colours truly represent all of this. Brilliantly done :-)
Jaybe replied

Thankyou Lea….it is hard but sometimes well worth it. ;-)
