Desistance is a life-long journey

Dr David Honeywell is an academic and an author. He has also spent a number of years in and out of prison. David said that access to education and looking inwards helped him address his offending behaviour, rather than prison itself. He speaks about how desisting from crime isn’t a linear path and he feels it’s an ongoing journey of policing himself to ensure he continues to desist from crime. David shares his story in the hope of inspiring others to see that even when you’re at rock bottom and others have lost faith in you, you can still find the strength to turn your life around.
