Thabo Mthembu
Thabo Mthembu was incarcerated in Pollsmoor Correctional Centre from 2014 to 2019. While inside, he participated in restorative justice classes and learned how to shape himself for life inside prison while keeping the person he had become apart from whom he truly is. During his incarceration, he often prayed to God to watch over his family. Now writing from a formerly incarcerated lens, Thabo is currently part of Restore’s research and reintegration project running in South Africa.

Prison Journalism: Life through the eyes of a former inmate and member of society
Within captivity’s grasp, a saying goes:
“They say the prison never stays the same,
And that change comes like the swift change of a heartbeat.”
That’s why one should always be observant about everything!
Kind of funny, sounds like life in general.
