“Your Life Will Change”
Sean Burke, director of the Criminon Community Education Center in West Covina said, “In their graduation speeches, one for one they tell their fellow students, ‘I didn’t particularly want to do this course in the beginning, but let me tell you, if you just stick with it and really do it, your life will change.’ They stop drinking-and-driving and petty theft. They start getting jobs. They start new relationships with their families. One even stated that his marriage was saved.”
A key factor of the Criminon program is that it provides people an opportunity to reflect on their lives. The effectiveness of the program is evident in the words and actions of its graduates.
Another graduate, Silvester, said, “I began the course with the same attitude that the others had. We all felt that we knew right from wrong. The problem was that nobody was really implementing what they knew.”
He added, “This course reopened my general attitude about others and certain situations. Now, without anyone reminding me, I am more aware of my negative attitude that I used to carry with me daily. I no longer use excuses to commit an illegal act or get myself into problems which can multiply. Due to this course I’ve learned to handle situations in life with a more positive attitude and self-control.”
In case after case, the Criminon Community Education Center is doing what Criminon elsewhere has done for decades: Demonstrating that there is a way to rehabilitate offenders, to restore self-respect and make them into productive citizens who are assets to their communities and society.
