At last week’s Hope for Prisoners’ graduation there was much said about the need for ex-offenders to make better choices. The graduates have to make different and often difficult choices – where they live, who they have as friends, what their priorities are, and so many other choices that are affected by the integrity of their conduct. When faced with turning their lives around, who they choose as friends becomes a reflection of themselves and their intentions. Their case managers and mentors regularly discuss this with them, their families are attuned to this as they work to support them, and those who give them a second chance regularly watch for this. Successful reentry is measured by their conduct every day, not by what they did in the past. Life’s choices can be difficult under the best of circumstances: who we are is measured by those choices. Let integrity guide your conduct and your outcomes today.
Junius was the pseudonym of a writer who contributed a series of letters to London’s Public Advertiser from January 1769 to January 1772
