&;Lock them up and throw away the key!&; is a cry we hear often inSouth Africa today. But this simplistic solution to crime simplyisn&;t working.As Father Babychan Arackathara, a Catholic chaplain tosome of the Western Cape&;s most notorious prisons, shows inthis compassionate reflection on his work, even criminals havestories, and crime invariably has roots. He listens to those storiesand untangles those roots on our behalf, sharing insights into thebrokenness of our society and communities &; and offering real,workable suggestions for fixing them.Can we move to the ideal of hating the crime, but loving thecriminal? What must we do to see that offenders are themselvesvictims and to engage them constructively? How do we break thecycles of addiction, trauma and crime to reach for reconciliationand transformation?
