Watching this inspirational TED talk by the poet Cristina Domenech took me back to my prison days – my years working at HMP Low Newton Womens Prison, Durham. During my time there as a teacher and later as a manager I was involved in many creative projects especially with Writer-in-Residence Wendy Robertson and I was never anything other than convinced of the huge life affirming and life changing potential of writing in prison
This a very moving example of just such a project and it’s outcomes. If you like to read more about my 25 years inside prison click HERE
