Prisons are not on public agenda as much as they deserve to be. It is important to invest in prisoners and their lives because after their release, they live among us. We should not be unforgiving; we should support them.

Thank you for having us on your show! It was great to talk about the importance of preparing people for release from prison and why we need to see more 1-to-1 support.

We have a justice system which is overcrowded and under-resourced. The prison population in the UK has doubled since 1990s – we have the highest prison population in Western Europe.

As a teacher you can motivate your students to read but students will only start reading if they have seen their parents read a book. It is primarly the impact of parents which motivates their child to read.
