A career like no other.

You could be teaching prisoners new skills, supporting a young person or analysing the risk of offenders in the community.

It's an extraordinary job, done by someone like you

🐄 Here at HMP Prescoed & Cilwrgi Farm, prisoners work together daily in our fully functioning dairy operation, gaining valuable life & employable skills.

To learn more on how this creates a path to rehabilitation for prisoners, read @ConversationUK https://t.co/lvNn2znHDZ 🚜

Speaking on @BBCRadioWales' Country Focus programme, Senior Lecturer in Forensic Psychology, Dr Libby Payne outlines how her research at @HMPPrescoed suggests working with dairy cows could help with rehabilitation and reduce reoffending amongst prisoners.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.

Bu i’r Ysgrifennydd Parhaol @AntoniaRomeoUK a Chyfarwyddwr Cyffredinol HMPPS @CEOHMPPS ymweld â Fferm Cilgwri yn @HMPPrescoed yn ddiweddar.

Mae gan y fferm system godro robotig newydd ac mae carcharorion yn dysgu sut i weithredu’r peiriannau a datblygu sgiliau ar gyfer swyddi.

Permanent Secretary @AntoniaRomeoUK and HMPPS Director General @CEOHMPPS recently visited Cilwgri Farm @HMPPrescoed.

🐄 The farm has a new robotic milking system and prisoners are taught how to operate this machinery, giving them valuable skills for jobs on release.

🌿Sustainability is at the forefront of everything we do at @HMPPrescoed

We have recently opened a new work boot sterilising unit and have linked up with @HMPSwansea and @HMPCardiff to save on average £18 per pair of boots cleaning and sterilising old pairs to be used again🥾

[Ministry of Justice @MoJGovUK]

🐮 We’re udderly inspired by Cilwgri Farm in @HMPPrescoed.

Prisoners are learning to use an advanced robotic system that allows cows to volunteer to be milked.

This approach provides prisoners with agricultural qualifications and better job prospects after release.

@HSGwent @LLGwent @highsheriffs @HMPUsk @GwentPCC @gwentpolice Sir, on behalf of all of us at HMP Usk & Prescoed thank you for attending.
