Sycamore
Tree
DID YOU KNOW?
One in two prisoners will offend again within
two years of their release.
Sycamore Tree is based on the Bible story of Zacchaeus, challenges offenders to consider the effects of their crimes on their victims and how this will affect their future behaviour. Victims attend part of the course to tell their stories and the impact of crime on them and their families.
"When I think back to my crimes and then think
of my victims who I have hurt mentally because of my actions,
it saddens me. I know I cannot turn back the clock but can only hope
that no-one else will be a victim because of myself."
Terry, a prisoner who took part.
