Firstly I would like to add that we are able to accomodate everyone within the programme. Each individual is on a very special journey. This process meets him/her exactly where needed most. Everyone attending for at least 1 term will receive a certificate of attendance - an acknowledgement for the commitment to continuous learning and growth.
Here some numbers:
- 16 offenders were in Jan 08 given the choice to attend the RR programme
- 14 of them accepted and began the process
- 1 stopped the programme after 1st term - 13 continued
- 1 stopped the programme after 2nd term - 12 continued
- 1 was transferred to Worcester Prison - 11 continued
- 1 of those who did not accept in Jan 08 asked to start the process in July 08 - he is now busy with his personal RR process
- 7 new guys have chosen to be enrolled in the RR programme in Aug 08 and to become the first test-clients of the Responsibility Coach™ Students
Status Aug 08:
- 8 committed Coach Students (6 Brandvlei - 2 Goodwood (transferred)
- 2 in their implementation phase one-on-one
- 8 new RR attendees, creating their platform
The Coach Students in Brandvlei will soon create Circles of Sharing each with 3-5 attendees. As the Coach Students progress in their Coach Education they will soon be equipped to run several Circles of Sharing each, reaching out to more and more inmates throughout the prison.
The Coach Students in Goodwood are currently recruiting new GOH members and will begin the RR programme during the month of September. More will follow soon!
