I was a Criminal and Youth magistrate for twenty years having been encouraged to apply by Prue Earl who lived in Pattingham House while a patient of mine. I\u2019d never had contact with the criminal justice system and like most people I expect had pre-conceived views of those in jail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a magistrate you\u2019re not there to be a social worker but to do justice and the application of the law while recognising the humanity of those before you.&nbsp;&nbsp;As a Presiding Justice, speaking on behalf of the Bench, looking the person before you and committing them to custody, watching the handcuffs put on and them being taken down&nbsp; often in tears isn\u2019t easy. That person was made in the image of God but something has gone wrong in their lives. Jesus always looked beyond the problem to the person, walked with the wounded, talked with the troubled, reached out to the wretched but was never afraid to &#8220;say it as it is&#8221;. That is justice and mercy walking hand in hand. On appointment you do prison visits and the reality of custody, the endless locks, keys, lack of control, and routine was experienced by me for the first time.<br><br>Behind every prisoner is a story. There are victims, families torn apart, children growing up without a mother or father, addiction and cries for help. Often being in prison gives people time to reflect, look for faith, come off drugs, get an education or learn a trade. Many have mental health issues, are illiterate but many are professional highly educated people whose lives have gone astray.&nbsp; Each one is&nbsp; precious in God&#8217;s eyes and rehabilitation and return to society is the aim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&nbsp; volunteer&nbsp; in a multifaith prison Chaplaincy Team and feel privileged to meet people at a difficult time in their lives. Breaking the news of a family death, for example, sitting next to them on the bed in their cell is emotional. In these situations&nbsp; I always ask, if they aren\u2019t known to the Chaplaincy , if they have any faith and offer to pray with them or on their behalf. Often they gratefully accept and if saying the Lord&#8217;s Prayer join in as remember learning it as a child.&nbsp; Many people find or rekindle faith in prison, change their lives and return to society. Prison can be a dangerous, lonely place but also a place of love and hope. Christians are baptised or confirmed and can attend bible study and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following poem for Prisons Week was written by Claire Mothersdale, who is an ex offender who serves as a Prison Fellowship Volunteer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>When you hear the word offender, what words come to mind?<br>I imagine quite a few\u2014most won\u2019t be very kind.<br>When you hear the word offender, you may think \u2018low-life scum;\u2019<br>\u2018They deserve to be locked up and pay for what they\u2019ve done.\u2019<br>\u2018They\u2019re probably just a smackhead or an alky, can\u2019t you see?<br>Let\u2019s get them chucked in prison and throw away the key.\u2019<br>But when I hear the word offender, I\u2019ll tell you what I see:<br>I see they\u2019re only human\u2014they\u2019ve made mistakes, just like you and me.<br>When I hear the word offender, I don\u2019t see addict and I don\u2019t see scum;<br>I see that the offender is someone\u2019s daughter, someone\u2019s son.<br>Yes, they\u2019ve made bad choices, yes, they\u2019ve been caught\u2014<br>But God\u2019s grace brings forgiveness; by His blood they have been bought.<br>Yes, they\u2019re wretched sinners\u2014of this there is no doubt;<br>The only difference between them and you is their sin has been found out.<br>You see, sin is sin in God\u2019s eyes, whether big or small\u2014<br>But praise God for redemption: Jesus took the fall.<br>He took on all their sinfulness, He took on all their shame;<br>His offer of forgiveness lets them live again.<br>So, the next time you hear the word offender,<br>See them through God\u2019s eyes,<br>And pray they accept Jesus as their Saviour<br>To help navigate their lives.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to learn more about Prison Fellowship please visit the website: &lt;<a href=\"prisonfellowship.org.uk\">prisonfellowship.org.uk<\/a>&gt;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are all types of volunteering opportunities like Letter Link and prayer groups which are done from outside but mean so much.<br><br>Jill Parker<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>(As always this View is the personal view of the author.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Would you like to write a View from the Pews?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We welcome contributions for View from the Pews from anyone who would like to write one.
