Callum, a 19-year-old, has a history of repeat offences including petty theft and criminal damage. He is currently serving a sentence in a Young Offender Institution (YOI). To manage daily behavior, the YOI staff use a system where Callum receives 'stamps' for maintaining clean quarters and arriving on time to vocational workshops, which can be exchanged for leisure room vouchers. Additionally, as part of his rehabilitation scheme, Callum participated in a supervised meeting where he spoke directly with the local community centre manager whose property he vandalised, hearing about the disruption it caused and agreeing to help repaint the building after his release.
