Prison Projects
Since 2001 I have been working as a writer and cultural producer across the prison estate. This has taken me into over 50 prisons, in nearly every category, where I have put together numerous bespoke creative projects. These have involved collaboration with prisoners, other artists, academics, scientists and others.
Here’s a few articles that I encouraged the men in HMP Leicester to write:
An article in the Inside Times, written by prisoners about our sci-art project at HMP Leicester, Space is the Place:
NPR Launches into Space
and an article for The Big Issue written by a prisoner, on the return of Ricky Tomlinson to HMP Leicester:
An inmate writes about Ricky Tomlinson’s inspiring return to HMP Leicester
