On good stuff...
I visited Guys Marsh on Tuesday and met some truly inspirational staff and prisoners working to bring the two closer together. It’s just one of so many inspiring examples of excellence I’ve seen in the 58 jails I’ve visited on behalf of the Butler Trust so far this year - and a world away from the image of our prisons presented in the media. There are many and substantial challenges facing the service right now of course, but we should never forget the efforts of so may outstanding staff and volunteers working tirelessly, in spite of everything, to make a difference. And not forgetting the efforts of prisoners too - many of whom also play an increasingly important role in supporting staff and their peers across the estate. There's more information on my travels at www.GoodBookofPrisons.com.
