Community payback work

The six men digging the road in London yesterday were like any labourers doing a hard day’s work – except for one thing. These were the first UK criminals to wear “the vests of shame”. These bright orange vests, with the words “community payback” on the back, tell the public that offenders who are cleaning graffiti or digging the road are doing it as a punishment.

Community payback work, or “restorative justice”, is an alternative punishment to prison. The idea is that offenders restore or give something back to the community. It is also a way to avoid increasing the population of the already overcrowded prisons. There is already some evidence that offenders who complete a community service punishment are less likely to re-offend than those who go to prison.
