Another event was hosted in March this
year.
HMP Kirkham is fairly remote. Situated
outside of Preston and with very infrequent transport and taxis.It is an open
prison, where the population are given access to Education and Skills as well
as working outside in the community prior to their release.
The prisoner guides were a nice bunch
of guys who really succeeded in putting the exhibition across to all the
visitors. They were the ones who really shined in this environment as they were
able to organise this in their own way, and made sure that everyone understood
Anne’s story and how it related to modern events.
It was decided that the best time to
host the Guest speaker was after the event so that the optimum number of staff
and prisoners would be able to attend this event on April 8th. Our
guest speaker Eric Cohen came highly recommended. It was the first prison that
Eric had ever spoken in, and everyone remarked how well his talk had been
received at the prison.
Many thanks to all concerned and to
Governor Graham Beck for all his support
