The ‘Finishing Time’ project makes use of timelines and images used in interviews with graduates from LandWorks, a resettlement scheme that works with prisoners and those at risk of going to prison (https://www.landworks.org.uk/). These interview transcripts have been converted into ‘i-poems’, following the flow of the narrative, but focusing on the ‘I’, ‘we’ and ‘you’ statements.
What can these i-poems reveal about rehabilitation beyond the notion that those released into the community after punishment are risky and potentially transgressive?
