What’s it really like to go through the justice system? Experts by Experience starts by asking – and listening.
Created by Catch22Minutes, this series puts lived experience at the heart of the conversation. In each episode, we hear from people who have been through the justice system, as well as professionals working to change it from the inside.
In this episode, Maryam speaks with Kevin and Jayde, founder and directors of the incredible grassroots organisation Khadys Dream. Kevin’s lived experience inspired him to create a charity supporting young people and families affected by the criminal justice system, and together, they share how their work has grown to reach even more communities.
They reflect on the importance of prevention and early intervention, the misconceptions and glamorisation of the criminal justice system among young people, the challenges of transitioning from youth to adult justice, and the often-overlooked impact on families.
