For all the debate about prison overcrowding, rehabilitation seems to have slipped down the political agenda. But as Claire Fox and Mo Lovatt describe, Debating Matters Beyond Bars is a brilliant vehicle for engaging prisoners as soon-to-be citizens. (link below)

Am proud to have played a small part in this fantastic initiative engaging those serving sentences in debate on the important issues of our time.

So happy to have been a part of Debating Matters Beyond Bars!
