It's got to be the number one item on every prisoner's Christmas wish-list - their freedom.
But there was incredulity today when it emerged that one convict is actually going to have their wish granted - as first prize in a raffle.
The lucky inmate whose ticket is drawn in the £1 draw will be able to spend a day on the outside, enjoying themselves to their heart's content.
It is a reward being offered at Kirkham open prison in Lancashire in return for helping to prepare a Christmas dinner for elderly residents at a nearby day centre.

Open goal #4,563 for the Conservative Party - oh, sliced over the bar!

ReplyDeleteRewards for doing good outside of jail= good idea.
ReplyDeleteRewarded for proving he CAN do good = moral appeasement.
And Rob, what could the Conservative Party make of such a thing when they're cosying up to the New Labour state with the promise (to us)of making it work better.
Worthless.
