"Before joining PBN I was making plans to further my criminal career. All that has now changed. It's quite ironic that I had to come to prison so many times to really figure out who I am. What precipitated that awakening within myself was a sense of belonging (through PBN). I thought at one stage I was born to be bad and I have to accept that but I was hiding away from myself. I hadn't come to terms with the person I am and the person I want to be. Emotionally I was dead for a long time. If there is one thing I have learnt it is patience. I now want to be a producer. I want to go out into the industry and not just to contribute but to be creative. That is part of my calling." ROBERT

"Wow! Working with PBN has changed my life. Me and my friends wanted this fast life of having things we can't afford. And I never saw it as wrong. But it was a terrible thing for me as I ended up depressed. I disappointed everyone. I have realised my wrong-doings and I'm trying by all means to live as a good person. For me I have to realise that I was born with principles and values. Now I have to focus. Now that I am here I have to change. I want to be a script-writer. I know it's hard work but I'm telling myself I can do it. I want this because I have suffered the whole past years of my life and I think change can be this thing that I want." KWANELE
