The workshop ends with a final round of reflections. Almost all are positive. There is no longer any mention of sentence plans. Even Grant admits it has been "interesting". He says: "When I was doing my ‘homework' in my cell last night, I got to the bit that asks if there is someone I ought to forgive. I put no one. I may have left a trail of devastation but it is behind me and I'm selfish. I was about to write no one again in the section that said: ‘Is there someone you've hurt', but then I looked up at the picture of my five-year-old son and I thought, ‘I probably owe him an apology'. He doesn't understand why I'm in here and not with him, and why his mother's house was raided by police."
Perhaps, I venture, that apology might stretch to his son's mother? "No," he snaps. "She knew what I was doing all along."
