Restorative Justice Helped Me Cope With The Murder of My Twin Brother - Nick Dawson

In this episode of Life After Prison, we hear from Nick whose life changed forever after the tragic loss of his identical twin brother. Years later, he chose to face one of the men responsible through restorative justice, seeking answers, understanding and a way forward. We explore grief, anger, forgiveness, and how he has carried his twin brothers memory while finding a sense of peace and purpose.
