Kirstie’s Story
From offending to Oxford: my second chance
For Kirstie, growing up was pretty hard.
Unsupported and in a toxic relationship, frustration and violence took over her life. She did things she’s not proud of. Fast forward three years, and she’s standing in front of Oxford University Academics, discussing her experiences of the Scottish justice system. You can hear a pin drop…for once, everyone is listening to Kirstie.
