A crime is considered a grave offense against morality. An offense so great that society shuns the individuals committing crimes and shows them of mercy or redemption. However, these individuals are still human beings and deserve a chance to become better people and contribute to society in a positive form.

Imagine people making a mistake, asking for help, begging for forgiveness and no one’s listening to their pleas. Unfortunately, this is true for so many individuals from unprecedented backgrounds having psychological problems, wrongly convicted people who don’t have adequate knowledge about their constitutional rights.
