Back to HMP&YOI Swinfen Hall next week, training the lads on new bistro recipes. It’s going to be a busy few days! hopefully the lads enjoy learning the new recipes and the staff are excited to try them. We have lots of different dishes to work on. Including: potato chaat salad,

Chaplaincy have completed another ‘Being Dad’ parenting course to help prisoners build positive family relationships while in custody and continue upon release. Having a strong family unit is vital to stop the cycle of reoffending. Thanks Mothers' Union for facilitating this 👏



Today we acknowledge those who work in prisons. HMP&YOI Swinfen Hall have some fantastic staff who work alongside our men to improve futures. Special shout out to my team. Hard working, resilient, supportive and overall just brilliant. Thanks to all who support me too.


We're celebrating #BlackHistoryMonth with a range of activities for both prisoners and staff. We've organised sporting events to help prisoners build team working and communication skills. We're also working with Food Behind Bars to provide prisoners with hospitality experience.

Our Chaplaincy team facilitated our first victim awareness course with Sycamore Tree to teach the principles of restorative justice to aid rehabilitation. We're the 56th prison to run this accredited programme nationally. Thanks to Prison Fellowship E&W & our dedicated volunteers.






Great work from our I-Wing who organised a 25k challenge to raise money for Cancer Research UK. Our prisoners showed strong teamwork & focus as they worked together to cycle, row or run on gym equipment to reach the 25k distance. Staff also got involved & we've raised £358 so far!
