Not necessarily asked about honesty

Peer education within the prisons is complete Game Changerespecially for younger boys who lack good role models.

The boys who come into the prison with peer education have turned around the paper and are today doing good things. They demonstrate that it is possible to be in honesty, be clean, perform well and get everything back as they have lost – family, relationship with their children and spouses for example.

« These are good role models, and that’s what these guys need, there are good examples, to see that this is possible, » says Daniel Rafn Guðmundsson, who talked to the Daging Mbl.is about the prison system and the peer education included a number.

« Walk well and make money »

Daniel has been sober for 10 years, ever since he sought God in the little church at Stadarfell and at the same time got to find an experience that changed everything. Today he has a religious message into the prison and also plays a peer role.

He says it is common for young boys to be consumed or crime is lacking good role models. In younger years, it is easy to look up to those who are « hurting it » in this world, although it is not honest.

« It’s also what the community tells us to do. It’s going well and making money and such. There is no necessarily asked if this is quite 100% honest.

So the models are often distorted. «
