We have started to deliver new courses to our Drug Recovery Unit which is exciting news! A therapeutic course for people suffering with Trauma, life skills classes to help the residents gain basic skills such as washing, cooking and money management are all part of the package.
I usually stay away from prison documentaries but World's Toughest Prisons on Netflix going to prison in Norway is fascinating. I think it's a long road to get ours like this and change society's view of prison, but if it works and brings down re-offending rates I'm all for it!
As a POA rep the safety of staff and residents was paramount and social visits had to be suspended. As a human being it was heartbreaking to think kids ain't seeing dad for Xmas. Stay safe everyone and please be sensible when seeing family on the big day.
Gutted to have to close social visits again today. Lots of emotions from residents, families and staff. On a brighter note the team booked 179 Purple Visits! @PurpleVisits@DanielD75173186
I would like to introduce you to our other visits PAT (Pets As Therapy) dog called Charlie, she is joining us in visits today and has been enjoying lots of attention from everyone. @ashanks123@butterflies_w
@DanielD75173186@ashanks123@butterflies_w You forgot to tag her fabulous owner ;) My little superstar has loved every second of today. I think both visitors and residents have really appreciated her company too. Haven't appreciated her smelly bum but I'm sure she can be excused for being such a good girl #FirstBorn
