Beyond the Bars

Draft a scenario where a previously incarcerated character is suspected for a new crime.

Once a crook, always a crook – society’s stern dictum. Is the suspected character really guilty, or are they a victim of their past catching up? How do they react and defend? This prompt explores the themes of prejudice, societal judgment, stigma, reinvention and redemption.
