complex barplot enquiry

The data consists of a series of pre and post variables, in a dataframe called 'offend'. I am interested in graphically depicting the pre & post values for a factor variable called 'decision' which has 4 values : nusm, fit, unsound & unfit. An example of a pre and post variable is: pre.damage and post.damage (data below). I wanted to exclude all values = 0, and collapse the remaining values into 3 categories .e.g 1, 2-5, 6 plus. For each 'decision' group the final graph would contain the alternating pre and post values for 'damage'. For example, for 'fit' the first bar would have a pre value = 18 & a post value = 4, the second pre bar would = 17 and the post bar = 2, and the third pre bar would = 2 & the post = 1.

table(decision,pre.damage)
pre.damage decision 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 13 14 20 fit 89 18 9 4 2 2 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 nusm 158 44 15 5 5 6 6 3 1 1 2 0 0 0 0 unfit 27 2 2 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 unsound 333 68 36 8 5 4 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1
table(decision,post.damage)
post.damage decision 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 10 12 13 fit 119 4 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 nusm 212 16 11 2 0 2 1 1 0 1 0 unfit 31 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 unsound 441 8 5 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 1
Could you please post commands to define the df 'offend'?
