We recently held our Armed Forces & Veterans Breakfast Club to celebrate #ArmedForcesDay. The ceremony was attended by our veteran community staff & prisoners with support from the Vice Lord Lieutenant of Rutland, High Sheriff of Rutland & many more! Thank you for your support.

Proud to see Lindsay as one of the winners. #oneofourown

A prisoner has raised £416.30 for his local cancer ward who cared for his wife when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. He showed great determination & commitment to the cause, rowing 1 million and 13 thousand meters which is equal to 24 marathons & it took 73 hours👏

Hidden Heroes Day at Stocken was fantastic! We raised money for a local Dog Rescue within our community with events and a raffle for our staff. We also held another staff awards to recognise the amazing teams, stakeholders, new staff, and legends in our prison.

Our recent family day was a heart-warming Valentine’s success, filled with activities & moments shared among families. Thanks to our amazing staff & LAT Charity for making it a great day that strengthens & builds family ties which plays a crucial role in reducing reoffending.

Great fun with everyone HMP Stocken as they welcomed a brilliant Gospel Choir as part of their celebrations taking place throughout October to mark Black History Month 2025. Thank you for inviting me
