Member 1 – Next
(Character enters flanked by police officer – sits on chair at other side of desk looking humble, reserved)
Member 1 – Mr… Served 4 years of an 8 year sentence for fraud. Exemplary behaviour report, good character reference. Do you feel you have been rehabilitated?
Character – I do, being here has been hard, I miss the outside, being my own man. Think I learned my lesson a long time ago.
