From the Meadows to Whitehall - great to see @JacobFreeeman helping our Labour Government to change the justice system for the better.
Restorative justice reduces reoffending and can offer victims the answers they seek.
That’s why I have appointed @JacobFreeeman as an expert adviser on youth justice here at the @MoJGovUK 👇
Jacob’s story of restorative justice is shown across the country in “Punch” - a play by @mrJamesGraham about Jacob’s childhood, his crime, and the journey he, and his victim’s family took. From the West End to Broadway, Jacob’s experience
It is about poverty, rehabilitation, crime, masculinity, and, ultimately, redemption - and the opportunity to turn around lives, and contribute to society.
Policy from Whitehall must be informed by lived experience. So pleased Jacob is on board, ready to help us transform the youth justice system.

From Broadway last week to the Westend - great to have the opportunity to see Punch at the @NimaxTheatres in London with @drkatedoolin. It will be interesting to see the nuanced changes between the UK and USA. An amazing performance which truly demonstrates the paper of RJ

Wonderful to have the opportunity to see Punch in London with @JBSimon73 - thought provoking and excellent production with restorative justice at its core.

Following sold-out runs at @NottmPlayhouse & Young Vic, Punch, set in The Meadows in my constituency, transfers to the West End for a 10-week run from Monday.
Excited to see this ad on my way home to Nottm earlier this week!

📌 What kind of justice system do we really want?
🚨 A major Independent Sentencing Review proposed nearly 50 reforms to make sentencing fairer, safer, and more effective.
Here’s what it says — in plain English 🧵
Jacob Dunne retweeted
Forgiveness is a highly contested concept.
Depending on the context it might enable ongoing harm or be the key to healing.
People might run towards it or feel deeply offended by it.
After 20 years here’s what we’ve learned about forgiveness. 🧵

'I am left speechless by what you have managed to achieve together,' @susannareid100 tells Jacob Dunne.
With the support of his victim's mother, Jacob has turned his life around after killing James Hodgkinson.

'Most people would not have the ability to sit next to the person who killed their son' - @susannareid100.
In the years since Jacob Dunne threw a punch that killed 28-year-old James Hodgkinson, he has turned his life around with help from one of those he hurt the most - his victim's mother.

'Punch', an extraordinary study of a young man who landed a fatal blow on James Hodgkinson, a trainee paramedic during an unprovoked attack, and the consequences thereafter, will become that rare instance of productions of the same play opening simultaneously in the West End and on Broadway.
The play features an unbelievably stunning performance by David Shields as Jacob Dunne tinyurl.com/ybfjxm7w
