It was whilst I was waiting for the barrister to return from seeing my son after the hearing that the moment of greatest comfort came. Would you believe that the prosecution barrister came to talk to me and comfort me? She was lovely and I am eternally grateful to her for her compassion and understanding.
The other odd thing - I had thought that my son had been housed in a prison near to the court overnight, as his regular YOI is such a long distance away. I was mistaken. The prison he'd been accommodated in was, in fact, not that far from where I live (as I found out when I took a wrong turning on the way home and found myself there!). Odder still, however, was driving down the motorway alongside a prison van taking the exact same route as me. I wonder whether he was in there. For one surreal moment I found myself wanting to wave.
