Prisons: Where does the community come in?

The subject for the 2012 Perrie Lectures has been announced as ‘Prisons: Where does the community come in?’

The event will focus on the role the local community play in the life of prisons. What more can local people do to help in the rehabilitation and resettlement of offenders? Should the local community take more responsibility for offenders in its midst? What can the community offer prisoners that prison staff cannot?

Book your place by 8 June and get two tickets for the price of one.
