Fawaaz Adendorff was incarcerated in Pollsmoor Correctional Centre and participated in a Restorative Justice programme while behind bars.

Time for me to go home after a very long wait. I don’t know what to expect, all the mixed emotions and all the things going through your mind, stomach turning and head spinning. Very excited but also nervous. What makes it so exciting is that you are being released, but not knowing what is waiting, yet also aware of how dangerous our community is with all the gang fights and drugs.

It’s dark, and you will never have peace with life; you will always be restless and dark. But for how it is with all the corruption and violence, it’s hard staying on the right path and out of prison because there are not many opportunities for people coming out of prison.And it was also very difficult to travel to the programs I had to attend because of ongoing gang violence in my community. Every morning when I wake up, I’m grateful because, for how things are now, it’s very risky.
