Smart Justice for Young People
The London launch of our SmartJustice for Young People campaign

SmartJustice for Young People launched on 18th October 2006 at Sadler's Wells in London. Guests attending included Monty Don, gardening writer, television presenter and founder of the Monty Project for prolific offenders, Turner Prize winners Grayson Perry and Gillian Wearing, Kidulthood stars Femi Oyeniran and Adam Deacon, ex-Cabinet Minister Clare Short MP and the Prisons Minister Gerry Sutcliffe MP.

The launch was created, and was performed, in collaboration with young offenders and those at risk of offending. Using dance, drama, film and visual art, young people worked with creative professionals to communicate their experiences of what led them to commit crime and what works to stop it.
